Secretary of State Antony Blinken has tested positive for Covid and is experiencing “only mild symptoms,” the State Department announced.<\/p>\n

Blinken is the latest figure who attended last weekend’s White House Correspondents’ Association dinner to test positive.<\/p>\n

The State Department said that Blinken has not seen Joe Biden in person for several days, and that the president was not considered a close contact, per CDC guidance.<\/p>\n

Blinken, who is fully vaccinated and boosted, tested positive on Wednesday afternoon after a negative test earlier in the day and on Tuesday. The State Department said that Blinken would “isolate at home and maintain a virtual work schedule.”<\/p>\n

ABC News’ chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl also tested positive, and there have been other reports of attendees from the dinner also showing that they had contracted Covid.<\/p>\n

The dinner drew about 2,600 people to the cavernous ballroom at the Washington Hilton. Attendees were largely maskless, but had to show proof of a same-day negative test as well as vaccination.<\/p>\n

After attending the Gridiron dinner in early April. a number of administration officials and lawmakers tested positive for Covid, including Attorney General Merrick Garland and Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo.<\/p>\n
