Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra has tested positive for the coronavirus for the second time in less than a month, his agency said Monday.
Mr. Becerra tested positive on an antigen test while in Sacramento, California, and is experiencing mild symptoms, according to HHS.
The positive test is notable because Mr. Becerra, who is vaccinated and boosted, returned a positive test while traveling in Germany in mid-May.
It is also notable because the secretary oversees agencies charged with responding to the pandemic.
Mr. Becerra has kept up a busy travel schedule as of late, including regular trips to welcome “Operation Fly Formula” flights that are delivering shipments of baby formula to combat a nationwide shortage.
