CBSN
Washington — President Biden will be tested for COVID-19 again Wednesday after he was in close contact with a White House official who tested positive for the virus after traveling with the president.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki disclosed earlier this week that a mid-level staff member received a positive COVID-19 test result Monday morning. The staffer had been in proximity to Mr. Biden aboard Air Force One for roughly 30 minutes on Friday when the president flew from Orange, South Carolina, to Philadelphia.
Psaki said the staff member, who began experiencing symptoms Sunday, is fully vaccinated and received a booster shot. The White House official tested negative for COVID-19 before boarding Air Force One.
