July 9 (UPI) -- Second gentleman Doug Emhoff has again tested positive for COVID-19, his director of communications said.

Emhoff, who is fully vaccinated against the virus, was tested Saturday after experiencing mild symptoms, Liza Acevedo said Sunday in a statement on X.

Acevedo said Emhoff is currently asymptomatic and was working remotely from home.

Vice President Kamala Harris was also tested for COVID-19 "out of an abundance of caution," and her results returned negative, Acevedo said. Harris is also fully vaccinated.

Emhoff previously contracted the virus in March 2022.

The second gentleman was at the White House on Thursday for Independence Day celebrations. UPI photographed him standing near President Joe Biden on the Truman Balcony as they took in celebratory fireworks with their wives.

It was unclear early Monday if Biden had been tested for COVID-19 following Emhoff's diagnosis.
