<p>White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters on Thursday that the administration will not release numbers about how many people working for the administration on the White House campus have tested positive for COVID-19.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s been a couple of days since we talked about the breakthrough case on the campus here and that you acknowledge there were additional breakthrough cases,&#8221; a reporter said during the press briefing. &#8220;Can you give us now the number of breakthrough cases that have occurred during the Biden presidency?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Well, I would say first that our medical experts, our health experts, have been conveying from the beginning, as have we, that there would be cases of individuals who are vaccinated who tested positive for COVID,&#8221; Psaki responded. &#8220;There are 2,000 people who work on the campus. And of course, that means that just statistically speaking, there will be people who are vaccinated individuals who get COVID on the campus.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;What I announced yesterday or conveyed yesterday was what our policy would be moving forward,&#8221; she added. &#8220;But no, I don&#8217;t think you can expect that we&#8217;re going to be providing numbers of breakthrough cases now.&#8221;</p>

<p><em>JEN PSAKI, PRESS SECRETARY: Well, I would say first that our medical experts, our health experts, have been conveying from the beginning, as have we, that there would be cases of individuals who are vaccinated who tested positive for COVID. There are 2,000 people who work on the campus. And of course, that means that just statistically speaking, there will be people who are vaccinated individuals who get COVID on the campus. What I announced yesterday or conveyed yesterday was what our policy would be moving forward. But no, I don&#8217;t think you can expect that we&#8217;re going to be providing numbers of breakthrough case now.</em></p>
<p><em>REPORTER: Really, that&#8217;s not transparency to give us a number, not the names, but a number of these cases? You must have that information.</em></p>
<p><em>PSAKI: Well, Kelly, I think one we&#8217;re in a very different place than we were several months ago. The vast, vast, vast majority of individuals who are vaccinated who get COVID will have, will be asymptomatic, or have mild cases. Every individual at this White House has been offered a vaccine. And we have been very clear that we will be transparent with anyone who has had close proximity contact with the president or any of the four principles as deemed by the White House medical unit with all of you, and if they approve having their name released, we will also released their names, but we will protect their privacy. That will be our policy moving forward. And we understand and agree that that is in the public interest.</em></p></blockquote>
