Attendees of the Democratic National Convention left with more than just memories, as reports of positive COVID tests began surfacing shortly after the event.
Among those affected are members of Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign staff, who are now dealing with mild symptoms of the virus. Sources close to the campaign mentioned concerns about potential staffing impacts for upcoming events, though there’s currently no significant worry about covering all planned activities.
Since the convention concluded on Thursday, various attendees, including reporters, have shared their positive Covid results on social media.
The convention, held at the United Center, saw overflow crowds, especially on the night Harris delivered her acceptance speech.
Despite the buzz and rumors about a surprise appearance by Beyoncé, the only unexpected development turned out to be the spread of Covid among participants.
This comes amid a summer uptick in Covid cases, with experts warning of a particularly severe wave. Neither the Harris campaign nor convention spokespeople have commented on the situation.
