Kamala Harris, the US Democrats vice presidential candidate has suspended in-person events until Monday after two staffers of her campaign tested positive for coronavirus.
The Joe Biden campaign said Biden had no exposure, though he and Harris spent several hours campaigning together in Arizona on Oct. 8.
Harris was scheduled to travel Thursday to North Carolina for events encouraging voters to cast early ballots.
The campaign told reporters Thursday morning that Harris’ communications director and a traveling staff member for her travel to Arizona tested positive after that Oct. 8 trip.
Harris and Biden spent several hours together that day through multiple campaign stops, private meetings and a joint appearance in front of reporters at an airport.
They were masked at all times in public.
Aides said they were masked in private, as well.
Biden and Harris have each had multiple negative tests since then.
Biden is scheduled to attend an ABC News town hall airing live at 8 p.m.
