US White House press secretary Jen Psaki has contracted Covid-19 along with members of her family.
In a statement, she said she was last in contact with President Joe Biden on Tuesday, when she met him in the White House. Psaki said they were more than 6 feet (1.8 metres) apart and wearing masks.
Psaki is not travelling with Biden, who was in Rome this weekend for the Group of 20 summit and is headed to Glasgow, Scotland, on Monday for a UN climate summit.
Psaki had planned to travel with the President but scrapped the trip just as he was set to depart for Europe after learning that members of her household had tested positive for the virus.
"Since then, I have quarantined and tested negative (via PCR) for Covid on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday," Psaki said in a statement. "However, today, I tested positive."
