Secretary of State Antony Blinken tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday and is experiencing “mild symptoms,” the State Department’s chief spokesman Ned Price said in a statement.
Blinken, who is fully vaccinated and boosted, has not seen President Joe Biden in person “for several days,” Price said. He added that Biden is not considered “a close contact” under CDC guidelines.
Blinken took a PCR test on Wednesday because he was experiencing symptoms, Price said.
Prior to being tested, Blinken had a bilateral meeting with Sweden’s foreign minister. He also held several meetings on Tuesday, including one with Mexico’s foreign secretary.

There are so many CCP in the States, they can spread the gain-of function virus as they want. Vaccines are useless and harmful.
Here it goes again the democrats lefties communists are inducing fear of biological China 🇨🇳 virus to lock us up again so they can robb our votes on midterm
I was just wondering if y'all have heard about the financial support program going on now called Grant? << I totally agree with everyone who do not receives their stimulus package or eidl loan. Here is the best opportunity to be among the grant winner of cash price every day. I’m happy to be Among the winner of their services. The government is doing great job in providing for the needy<< a lot of people knows about this but won’t discuss it because they want it all to themselves. Be wise and be among the winner today.
Congrats, and stay positive

They actually joked about it being a super-spreader event during it. Oh well. I think we just have to make sure we are vaccinated to reduce the severity and get on with things. I think most people are burnt out on Covid, and I've had both booster shots. Lockdowns just seem to be kicking the can down the road.

Good
Oh, my! A politician tests positive!!
Dude, I work at Amazon. We were receiving daily online updates about on-site COVID cases for 2 years straight, but we never stopped working, did we? I believe our D.C. representatives should offer us the same courtesy by actually doing their jobs- except without all the damn drama! (We Amazon folk toughed it out without a peep of complaint, after all. Politicians need to grow a pair…)
Blinken Blinked again.
😂😅😆
At least some good news from the usual boring stuff of the Ukraine war. Blinken should prove that covid infection can be fatal if you lie to much.
Another LEFTIST, COVID EVENT….REMINDS ME OF TRUMPS ROSE GARDEN…..GUESS SOME JUST DONT LEARN FROM OTHERS MISTAKES
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I feel sorry for COVID
Blame communist China!
WHCD with zero Covid precautions turns into a super spreader. Schadenfreude
Is this the second one now? I hope they all get sick…..
Congratulations! I hope that you will get worse for all the evils that you and your country have done!
The Americans are leading the world to a new third world war
Let's hope it spreads through the whole swamp.
Well! The more will get covid, the less afraid they'll be about it. I mean, everybody experiencing the effects of this mild virus, knows Fauci is a liar.
They have 2 choices, stop supporting Fauci recommandations "masks, boosters" or invest more money into vaccine pharma firms shareholding accounts, to dance along with Fauci.
