Kamala Harris has tested negative for coronavirus, as Team Biden was hit by infections for the first time.
The Vice Presidential candidate paused her aggressive travel schedule after it emerged communications director, Liz Allen, and a flight crew member had tested positive for the virus.
Meanwhile, it was reported a staff member of the company that books travel arrangements for Joe Biden had tested positive.
The Presidential frontrunner does not intend to self-isolate - saying that while the individual was on Biden's Ohio and Florida trips this week, he was more than 50 feet away at all times and wore a mask.
Harris was not in close contact with either infected person during the two days prior to their diagnosis, the Biden campaign said in a statement and call with reporters. Harris wore a mask during the flight she shared with Allen and the flight crew member, who both tested negative before and after the flight.
The coronavirus pandemic has hit the United States particularly hard, killing more people than any other country, and upending the 2020 presidential race.
Democrats especially have increased their use of virtual campaigning, fundraising and get-out-the-vote efforts to limit the spread and avoid unnecessary health risks.
Trump contracted the virus himself earlier this month, leaving him sidelined from his signature campaign rallies, which have continued to draw large crowds and many attendees without protective masks.
Harris' husband, Doug Emhoff, planned to cancel his travel on Thursday but resume in-person events on Friday since he and Harris have tested negative multiple times, the Biden campaign said.
