"Late last night, I learned a non-staff flight crew member and a member of my team tested positive for COVID. I wasn’t in close contact—as defined by the CDC—with either during the two days prior to their positive tests. I've had two negative tests this week & am not showing symptoms. Both the crew member and the staff member were wearing N95 masks at all points they were near me, and our doctors believe that we were not exposed under CDC guidelines. Out of an abundance of caution, I will cancel travel through Sunday and continue to campaign virtually. I will be transparent with you about any test results that I do receive. In the meantime, remember: wear a mask, practice social distancing, and wash your hands regularly. It is possible to stop the spread," said Kamala Harris.
