The US Secretary of Health was infected with Corona for the second time in less than a month

The chief health official in the administration of US President Joe Biden announced that he had contracted the Corona virus again, less than a month after he developed symptoms of the virus during a trip to Germany.

Spokeswoman Sarah Lowenheim said Health Minister Xavier Becerra woke up to find himself suffering from symptoms again Monday morning and later tested positive for the virus, noting that his symptoms are mild and he is now in isolation in Sacramento, California.

A statement from the Department of Health and Human Services said it did not believe Becerra had close contact with Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris, who also tested positive earlier this spring.

Besera joined Biden at the Summit of the Americas last week in Los Angeles.

Besira has been fully vaccinated and has received a booster dose that protects against the virus.

In May, Besira tested positive while in Berlin for a meeting of health ministers from the Group of Seven wealthy nations to discuss the ongoing pandemic.

His office then said he developed mild symptoms and continued to work from isolation.
