Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh has tested positive for Covid-19 despite being fully vaccinated since January.
According to The Hill:
Kavanaugh tested positive after undergoing another round of testing Thursday ahead of a Friday investiture ceremony for Justice Amy Coney Barrett.
Kavanaugh and his wife will not attend Barrett’s ceremony, the court spokesperson said, adding that Kavanaugh’s wife and daughters are also fully vaccinated and tested negative Thursday.
It was not immediately clear if Kavanaugh would be absent Monday when the Supreme Court’s new term officially opens and the justices sit for their first in-person arguments since March 2020.
Justice Kavanaugh last tested negative for the virus on Monday and is experiencing no symptoms so far.
