"She will follow CDC guidelines and the advice of her physicians. The Vice President will return to the White House when she tests negative," she added.

Kamala tested positive for the dreaded virus despite having received her full dose of the Moderna Covid-19 vaccine in January, a booster shot in late October and a second booster shot on April 1, 2022.

Allen also confirmed the US Vice President had not come into contact with President Joe Biden or the First Lady Jill Biden because of their differing travel schedules.

"She has not been a close contact with the President or First Lady due to their respective recent travel schedules," she said.
