.WHCommsDir Kate Bedingfield announced Friday morning that she has tested positive for COVID-19.
Bedingfield's test occurred just one day before the White House Correspondents' Dinner and comes as the administration is grappling with an extended wave of infections, even as President Joe Biden himself seeks to turn the page on the pandemic.
"I last saw the President Wednesday in a socially-distanced meeting while wearing an N-95 mask, and he is not considered a close contact as defined by the CDC," she wrote in her statement."In alignment with White House COVID-19 protocols, I will work from home and plan to return to work in person at the conclusion of a five-day isolation period and a negative test."
— Kate Bedingfield April 29, 2022 Saturday's event marks the first time the White House Correspondents' Association has held the dinner since 2019, and Biden, White House press secretary Jen Psaki, and scores of other administration officials are still slated to attend.
