Even as administration officials say they'll continue to adhere to strict protocols, the White House changed its tone Friday about the risk of Biden catching COVID.Friday morning it's now"certainly possible" the president could still test positive for COVID at some point. On Thursday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters the president was not considered a"close contact" of Pelosi, as defined by Center for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines because they had not been within six feet of each other for 15 minutes.
"After consulting with a White House physician and reviewing CDC guidance, which we do for all engagements, the vice president presided over the Senate while practicing social distancing -- with limited and brief interactions from her chair. In addition, the vice president tested negative today, and will continue to maintain strong protocols and follow the CDC's guidance," the official said.
