Doug Emhoff, the second gentleman, tests positive.

Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, tested positive for the coronavirus on Tuesday, the vice president’s spokeswoman said.

Ms. Harris tested negative the same day, Sabrina Singh, a spokeswoman for the vice president, said in a statement. It was not clear where Mr. Emhoff contracted the virus or if he had any symptoms.

The vice president had been scheduled to speak alongside President Biden and Jill Biden, the first lady, at a women’s history month event at the White House on Tuesday night. Ms. Singh said she would skip the event.

On Friday, Mr. Emhoff was in Denver to visit the U.S. Mint with Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen. They also had lunch with Gov. Jared Polis of Colorado.

Representatives for Ms. Yellen and Mr. Polis did not immediately respond to questions about whether they had tested positive.

This is not the first time Ms. Harris has been exposed to the coronavirus. In September, she was pulled out of a live in-studio interview on the set of “The View” after two cohosts, Ana Navarro and Sunny Hostin, tested positive. She tested negative in December after she was exposed to a staff member who later tested positive.
