Biden’s close COVID contacts piling up

White House press secretary Jen Psaki had to skip the president’s trip to Europe last week after contracting the coronavirus herself.

Her replacement, deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, tested positive after landing back in the United States.

The CIA said in a news release that while Burns met with Biden, he wasn’t considered a “close contact” because he was socially distanced and wearing an N-95 mask.

“[Burns] will continue to perform his duties as CIA director, working from home, and plans to return to the office after isolating for five days and testing negative for the virus,” the statement said.
