I'm sure they are. I just wondered whether anyone had heard anything.

The campaign said it first learned of the positive cases involving Harris communications director Liz Allen and a non-staff flight crew member late Wednesday night.
Both of the individuals were on a flight with Harris on Oct. 8 but tested negative before and after the flight. Harris has taken two Polymerase Chain Reaction coronavirus tests since then, and both were negative.
Harris last tested negative for the coronavirus on Wednesday. The campaign says she will be tested again on Thursday.
