— RNC Research July 22, 2022 One day earlier, Harris was deemed a"close contact" of Biden, defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as a person who had been within 6 feet of someone who had been confirmed or suspected of having COVID-19 for a cumulative 15 minutes or more during a 24-hour period two days before the infected person developed symptoms or returned a positive result.
When asked for comment, Kirsten Allen, Harris's press secretary, told the Washington Examiner: "This morning, Vice President Harris tested negative for COVID-19 and is experiencing no symptoms." White House physician Kevin O'Connor reported Friday that Biden's own symptoms seem to be easing, even though the president recorded a slightly elevated temperature overnight. Biden's temperature of 99.4 degrees Fahrenheit"responded favorably" to Tylenol, in addition to Paxlovid, O'Connor wrote in a memo to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.
