Attorney General William Barr will not self-quarantine after exposure to multiple people who have tested positive for the coronavirus, the New York Times reported.
Barr, 70, was tested for the last Friday and Saturday, with both tests delivering negative results for the coronavirus, a spokesperson told the Times.
But last Saturday, Barr was one of the attendees at a White House reception for Amy Coney Barrett, President Donald Trump's pick to replace the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court. Several people who attended the event later announced they tested positive for the coronavirus, sparking concerns the reception could have been a superspreader event.
Among the attendees who later announced they caught the disease were Trump, first lady Melania Trump, two Republican senators, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, and former White House counselor Kellyanne Conway.
