Harris, who wields a tie-breaking vote in the Senate, plans to
work in person starting on Tuesday.
Doug Emhoff, Harris' husband, told reporters that the vice
president is feeling fine.
"She's doing great," he said on the sidelines of a White House
reception marking the Muslim Eid al-Fitr holiday. "She worked
the entire time."
She will continue to wear a mask through the 10-day period
following a negative rapid antigen test, under Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention guidelines, spokesperson Kirsten
Allen said in a statement.
The White House announced Harris' positive result last Tuesday.
Senate Democrats have had to delay efforts to advance President
Joe Biden's nominees for the Federal Reserve and Federal Trade
Commission in recent weeks.
Recent COVID cases, including Harris and three Democratic
senators, threatened further delays. The Senate is split evenly
between members aligned with Democrats and Republicans.
