US Treasury: Yellen Tests Positive for COVID, Working from Home – Reuters

U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday after showing symptoms, but she is continuing her duties while working from home, according to Treasury spokesperson Lily Adams.

Yellen will remain at home until she is able to return to Treasury offices, Adams stated in an email. The 78-year-old official had just returned to Washington on Saturday from a three-day trip to Raleigh, North Carolina, and Austin, Texas, where she promoted the Biden administration’s Inflation Reduction Act investments in clean energy and the Internal Revenue Service.
