Several members of the Biden administration, such as the Minister of Justice, as well as the President’s spokesperson Jen Psaki or the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, have tested positive in recent weeks.

President Biden, 79, who received his second booster dose of the anti-Covid vaccine at the end of March, has regularly been considered not to be a “contact case” as defined by the American health authorities. Kamala Harris’ husband, “Second Gentleman” Doug Emhoff, fell ill in March.

The United States is now again seeing an increase in the number of daily cases of Covid-19, linked to the BA.2 sub-variant of Omicron.
