House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has tested positive for COVID-19 and is asymptomatic, her office said Thursday, a day after she attended an event at the White House in close proximity to President Joe Biden.

Pelosi spokesman Drew Hammill said in a statement that after previously testing negative earlier this week, the California Democrat, 82, “received a positive test result for COVID-19 and is currently asymptomatic.”
