Second gentleman Douglas Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Harris, has tested positive for COVID-19, a spokeswoman for Harris said on Tuesday.

Both Emhoff and Harris were scheduled to appear at an event to celebrate Women's History Month this evening at the White House.

Harris tested negative for COVID-19 on Tuesday but is not participating in the event this evening "out of an abundance of caution," spokeswoman Sabrina Singh said. The White House has not released information about whether Emhoff is experiencing symptoms.
