Two of President Joe Biden’s Cabinet members — Attorney General Merrick Garland and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo — tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday, their respective departments announced.
The Justice Department said Garland, 69, wasn’t experiencing any symptoms but will isolate at home for at least five days in accordance with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines. A statement said Garland will work from home and will return to the office after he tests negative for the virus.
“He asked to be tested after learning that he may have been exposed,” the department said.
Garland, who is fully vaccinated and has received at least one booster, attended a news conference along with FBI Director Christopher Wray earlier Wednesday. The Justice Department said it plans to conduct contact tracing.
The Commerce Department said Raimondo also tested positive for the virus using an at-home test.
“She is fully-vaccinated and boosted, and she is confident that the vaccine has prevented her from experiencing more significant symptoms,” a department statement read.
Raimondo plans to isolate at home for at least five days and return to the office after testing negative.
The Commerce Department is also conducting contact tracing.

There are as many false positives as false negatives on a testing system with legions of flaws. Just ignore the so-called experts and live your life as normal. Even Joe’s master puppeteers used the COVID to keep him frightened, manipulated and hidden in the basement to prevent THE PEOPLE from finding out how age debilitated his brain was before the election. Trump got COVID and hardly missed a beat, and even if you didn’t agree with him, you always knew where he stood because he faced things head on, not ran from it like the cowards of the County that now run Washington D.C, I hope Galand got it from all those unvetted Biden loving border jumping illegals that Texas Governor is now bussing from Texas into Washington D.C.
Hey, Joe—how’s those vaccines and boosters working out?
It is not a vaccine, it does not prevent you from getting covid -19, the CCP virus, nor cure you from it.
I am well aware of that.They call it a vaccine, so to keep the conversation simple, I used their terminology.
WHICH PLAYS INTO their game Son… SO STOP using that term.
I thought we were going to have a pandemic of the unvaccinated. Where did I get this wrong?
PLUS, note its all those who
A) MASKED UP like crazy in the white house
B) Got all their ‘shots’, and
C) BASHED republicans, who LIFTED restrictions…
