Speaker Nancy Pelosi has become the latest high-ranking official in Washington to test positive for COVID-19.
“After testing negative this week, Speaker Pelosi received a positive test result for COVID-19 and is currently asymptomatic. The Speaker is fully vaccinated and boosted, and is thankful for the robust protection the vaccine has provided,” the California Democrat’s spokesman, Drew Hammill, said in a statement. “The Speaker will quarantine consistent with CDC guidance, and encourages everyone to get vaccinated, boosted and test regularly.”
The announcement of the speaker’s positive test came shortly before Pelosi was scheduled to hold her regular weekly news conference.
