ABC News’ Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl has tested positive for Covid-19, people familiar with the matter confirm, days after sitting next to Kim Kardashian at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner and interacting with President Joe Biden.

Karl received an award in the “Excellence in Presidential Coverage Under Deadline Pressure” category for broadcast while at the dinner. He appeared on the dais, received his prize, shook hands with several others there, including Biden, and subsequently spoke at the microphone. Karl was also pictured at a table sitting next to Kardashian and one spot over from her boyfriend, Pete Davidson.

or just a one off.

I know Deborah Birx isn't everyone's favorite person here, but I think she had good advice. Treat going to something like this as though you've had exposure. Test daily after. (That's what I did when I went to an in person event with 150 people and little masking.)

It was a good night. No spread as far as I know. (it was a community of parents from my child's school, so we all know each other.)

I tested daily for a week. (Her suggestion was five days, but I tend to be overly cautious.)

I hope that the people who were at WHCD and the Met Gala (KIM!) are doing the same.... to protect everyone around them.
