Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris has suspended campaign travel through Sunday after two people accompanying her tested positive for the coronavirus, Jen O’Malley Dillon, Joe Biden’s campaign manager, said in aon Thursday. Harris communications director Liz Allen and a non-staff flight crew member tested positive late Wednesday, Dillion said.
Harris was not in close contact, as outlined in Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines, with Allen and the crew member in two days prior to their positive tests and therefore does not need to quarantine, Dillon said. She added Harris will take the “highest levels of precaution” to ensure safety and will maintain a “robust and aggressive” schedule of virtual campaigning.
Allen and the crew member were on a flight with Harris on Oct. 8—the day after the vice-presidential debate—and all three were wearing N95 masks. Both then attended “personal, non-campaign events” in the past week, Dillon said, adding that “Under our campaign’s strict health protocols, both individuals had to be tested before returning to their work with the campaign from these personal events.”
