WASHINGTON — Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday became the highest ranking official in the Biden administration to test positive for the coronavirus, but was not experiencing symptoms, her office said.
The vice president was in California last week, and has not had any recent contact with President Joe Biden and most of the White House staff, her office said. She returned to Washington on Monday.
Harris “will isolate and continue to work from the Vice President’s residence,” Kirsten Allen, her spokesperson, said in a statement. “The Vice President will return to the White House when she tests negative.”
