Psaki is currently not accompanying US President Joe Biden on his trip to Europe and, according to his own statements, last met her boss last Tuesday, under special protective measures.
Psaki had canceled her trip with Biden to the G20 summit in Rome and to the world climate conference in Glasgow last week at short notice and initially vaguely cited a "family emergency" as the reason.
In her message from Sunday, she said that the background was that "a member of her household" had tested positive for the corona virus.
She then went into quarantine and had herself tested on Wednesday and Thursday as well as on Friday and Saturday.
All of these tests were negative.
The test on Sunday was then positive.
