Right now, Biden has just finished attending the G20 summit in Rome and then to Glasgow for COP26 meetings, where the leaders of the world gather...

"The last time I saw the president was on Tuesday (October 26, local time), when we were sitting outside, more than six feet apart, all wearing masks." Psaki stressed.

According to The New York Times, her family tested positive earlier. Psaki has been tested daily since Wednesday and has been negative. However, Sunday's results showed positive.

Psaki, who has already been vaccinated, insisted: "Thanks to the vaccine, my symptoms are not so severe." ”

The White House has not yet confirmed which government officials she has had close contact with.

Fox News reported that last Monday, the day before Biden met with Psaki, Biden coughed at his hand after speaking in New Jersey and then shook hands with the public, never wearing a mask.

Three days ago, Biden joined Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Majorcas at the 40th Annual National Peace Officer Memorial Service at the U.S. Capitol. They were photographed not wearing masks and were only a few feet apart.

Later in the day, Biden and First Lady Jill were found to have violated Washington, D.C.'s indoor mask rule by entering a fancy restaurant without masks.

Biden traveled to Europe with a sprawling tour group that included National Security Adviser Jack Sullivan, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and several press officials, all of whom interacted with White House officials and a large group of accompanying journalists.

It is reported that White House staff and related personnel have been undergoing frequent tests for the new crown virus, and all have been vaccinated, and some officials have also received enhanced injections. Biden received a vaccine booster injection on Sept. 27.

The G20 summit and COP26 meetings were held in Italy and the United Kingdom, and the world's leaders and dignitaries gathered, and Biden attended almost all major events.
