The team’s statement also stressed that both individuals tested positive after returning from personal time off, and have not had contact with either Harris or Biden since being diagnosed with the novel coronavirus.
However, prior to their break, both individuals were on a flight with the vice-presidential hopeful on October 8.

The California senator is set to return to the campaign trail on Monday.
