Psaki last met with the president on Tuesday when she was masked and out in the open, claiming to have been six feet away from Biden. She did not participate in the international trip with Biden. Psaki issued this statement on Sunday.
“On Wednesday, in consultation with White House senior leadership and the medical team, I made the decision not to make the international trip with the President due to a family emergency, namely that members of my household tested positive for COVID-19,” Psaki stated. “Since then, I have been quarantined and tested negative (by PCR) for COVID on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
tested. Today, however, I tested positive for COVID.”
Biden met the Pope and attended the G20 summit
Biden has already met with Pope Francis and several heads of state and government on his trip to Italy and other European countries. The first stop this week was Rome, where he met with the pope as he prepared for the G20 summit.
Psaki said she has been fully immunized and will work from home for now.
“I will personally return to work at the end of the ten-day quarantine and after a negative rapid test. This is an additional White House requirement that goes beyond CDC guidelines and was taken out of sheer precaution,” Psaki added.
Last encounter with mask and outdoors?
“I last saw the president on Tuesday when we were sitting in the open, more than six feet apart, wearing masks,” Psaki continued. “Thanks to the vaccine, I only experienced mild symptoms, so I was able to continue working from home. I will personally return to work at the end of the ten-day quarantine and after a negative rapid test. This is an additional requirement by the White House that goes beyond CDC guidelines and was taken out of pure caution.
On Monday, just before his final meeting with Psaki before the European trip, Biden coughed into his hand and then shook hands with people. Biden wasn’t wearing a mask at that event either, as this video from Twitter shows.
Biden was often around people who tested positive for COVID-19 during his lengthy campaign in 2020 and under various circumstances in 2021. However, there have been no reports of the president contracting the virus.
