"While I have not had close contact in person with the President or senior members of the White House staff since Wednesday — and tested negative for four days after that last contact — I am disclosing today’s positive test out of an abundance of transparency," Psaki said in a statement. "I last saw the President on Tuesday, when we sat outside more than six-feet apart, and wore masks."
