US Vice President Harris confirmed the new crown on the 26th, and has no symptoms at present, and will continue to work at the vice president's residence. The White House said the Bidens were not close contacts. In addition, a report released by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on the same day showed that nearly 60% of Americans have been infected with the new crown virus at least once.
The U.S. Vice President's Office said on the 26th that Harris's rapid test and PCR test results on the same day were positive. Until the test results turn negative, Harris will quarantine at the vice president's residence and continue working, not to the White House. It is reported that Harris has previously been fully vaccinated against the new crown and has received two doses of booster injections.
Harris's husband, Emkhoff, was diagnosed with COVID-19 in mid-March, but Harris tested negative at the time. U.S. Vice President Spokesman Allen said Harris was not currently showing any symptoms. Given recent travel schedules, Harris has not had close contact with President Joe Biden or the First Lady.
The New York Times reported that Harris' infection has once again caused concerns about Biden's health. Biden is 79 years old, in an age group that is generally considered more susceptible to the virus. While the U.S. Vice President's Office stressed that Harris has not had close contact with Biden recently, her infection has heightened the likelihood of Biden's infection, as people who have recently worked with or attended events with Biden, including U.S. House Speaker Pelosi, Attorney General Garland, Commerce Secretary Raimondo, and White House Spokesman Psaki, are all infected with the new crown virus.
A survey released by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on the 26th showed that as of February 2022, 57.7% of Americans had antibodies to the new coronavirus in their blood, which was higher than 33.5% when the Omiljung variant began to erupt in December 2021. In addition, more than 90 percent of Americans have been vaccinated or have been infected with the coronavirus.
Bloomberg reported that with the popularity of home testing and the fact that many cases are mild or asymptomatic, official COVID-19 case data is becoming increasingly unreliable, and blood surveys are the best evidence of the spread of the new crown virus. Experts from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stress that the presence of antibodies in the body does not mean that they can be protected from infection in the future.
