On Thursday, the Biden campaign announced that two members of Sen. Kamala Harris' traveling party, including her communications director Liz Allen and a member of the flight crew, have tested positive for COVID-19.

Although Harris herself was not in close contact with Allen or the flight crew member, and although everyone wore masks and practiced physical distancing, the campaign announced that she is suspending her campaign schedule through Sunday out of an abundance of caution.
