Vice President Kamala Harris’ husband Doug Emhoff tested positive for coronavirus, the vice president’s office announced Tuesday evening, hours after he attended an outdoor event in Washington, D.C. where he interacted with AmeriCorps members.
A White House official told McClatchy that Emhoff tested for COVID-19 after he began experiencing mild symptoms. The official said he was not symptomatic when he participated in the service event.
Emhoff’s first test, a rapid antigen test, was negative, the official said, but a subsequent PCR test had a positive result.
