Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris has canceled her travel until Monday after her communications director and a member of her flight crew tested positive for Covid-19, the Biden campaign said Thursday.

The campaign said Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, both tested negative on Thursday. But the campaign said earlier that even though the California senator was not in “close contact” with communications director Liz Allen or the crew member in the days before they tested positive, her travel would be paused “out of an abundance of caution.” Neither infected person was in contact with presidential nominee Joe Biden, whose travel schedule won’t be interrupted.
