Hillary Clinton tests positive for COVID-19

Hillary Clinton announced Tuesday that she has tested positive for COVID-19.

“Well, I've tested positive for COVID,” Clinton tweeted. “I've got some mild cold symptoms but am feeling fine. I'm more grateful than ever for the protection vaccines can provide against serious illness. Please get vaccinated and boosted if you haven't already!”

The 74-year-old former secretary of state and 2016 Democratic nominee added that her husband, former President Bill Clinton, tested negative for the virus.

“Bill tested negative and is feeling fine,” she tweeted. “He's quarantining until our household is fully in the clear. Movie recommendations appreciated!”

Bill Clinton, 75, was hospitalized in October for treatment of a non-COVID-related infection.

Earlier Tuesday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki announced that she, too, tested positive for the virus, forcing her to cancel a prepared trip this week with President Biden to Brussels, Belgium.

Psaki said she had two "socially-distanced meetings" with Biden Monday, and that the president, who tested negative, is "not considered a close contact as defined by CDC guidance."

“Thanks to the vaccine, I have only experienced mild symptoms,” Psaki. “In alignment with White House COVID-19 protocols, I will work from home and plan to return to work in person at the conclusion of a five-day isolation period and a negative test.”

Last week, second gentleman Doug Emhoff tested positive, which caused Vice President Kamala Harris to cancel her appearance at a pay equity event at the White House.

According to Johns Hopkins University, the United States has reported more than 79 million confirmed cases of the coronavirus since the beginning of the pandemic. More than 973,000 Americans have died of complications from COVID-19.
