The White House in the United States announced on the 26th that Vice President Harris tested positive for the new coronavirus.



Vice President Harris is not symptomatic, so he says he will be working in his official residence for the time being.



Vice President Harris has been away from Washington for the week leading up to the previous day, and the White House says President Biden is not a close contact under the guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.



In the Biden administration, Secretary of Defense Austin was positive in January, and Vice President Harris' husband Emhoff was also positive last month.
