Harris staffers test positive

-

Kamala Harris, the Democratic vice presidenti­al nominee, will suspend inperson events until Tuesday after two people associated with the campaign tested positive for the coronaviru­s. Joe Biden’s presidenti­al campaign said yesterday that Biden had no exposure, though he and Harris spent several hours campaignin­g together in Arizona on October 8, when the two people were on a flight with Harris. Both candidates have tested negative for Covid- 19 multiple times since then, and Biden’s campaign said he tested negative again yesterday. It’s the Biden campaign’s first major coronaviru­s scare, after months of careful health procedures that brought mockery from President Donald Trump, even after a White House virus outbreak that included the president and first lady Melania Trump.
