US Vice President Kamala Harris has tested negative for the coronavirus following her close contact earlier this week with an aide who later tested positive, her office said.

Harris, who is spending the holidays in Los Angeles, had tested negative on Wednesday after she was told that the aide who had accompanied her throughout the day on Tuesday had tested positive, AP reported.

Her office said she would be tested again on Friday. A pair of tests — a rapid test and a more sensitive laboratory test — found no trace of the coronavirus, her office said.
