Vice President Kamala Harris was scheduled to visit Walter Reed Medical Center for her "routine" medical examination on Sunday. CNBC reported that the news was confirmed by a White House official, which was not named by the outlet, as the vice president took to Twitter to urge people to get vaccinated.

"This Delta variant is no joke. Get vaccinated," Harris underscored.

It was not clear whether Vice President Harris' visit was connected to her meeting with Texas Democrats in the previous week, where three lawmakers tested positive for COVID-19 on Saturday. New York Post also reported that it was not clear if the vice president is exhibiting symptoms of the notorious disease.

VP Kamala Harris Does Not Need Quarantine - Spokesperson Says

Initially, Vice President Kamala Harris' spokesperson clarified that she does not need to quarantine after meeting with the Texas democrats who tested positive for COVID-19, on Tuesday.

A spokeswoman to the vice president, Symone Sanders, noted that Harris did not come into close contact with the lawmakers who tested positive for the notorious disease.

"Based on the timeline of these positive tests, it was determined that the vice president and her staff present at the meeting were not at risk of exposure because they were not in close contact with those who tested positive," Sanders emphasized.

Sanders explained that the situation did not require Harris to be tested for COVID-19, as well as to be quarantined. The spokeswoman also highlighted that the vice president and her staff were vaccinated against the notorious disease.

Apart from Kamala Harris, New York Daily News reported other members of the Congress also met with the Texas Democrats including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer from New York. However, citing a statement of a senator from a different report, the outlet noted that Schumer and his staff did not meet with lawmakers who got infected with COVID-19.

3 Texas Democrats Tested Positive for COVID-19

Kamala Harris' visit to Walter Reed Medical Center came as three Texas Democrats tested positive for COVID-19, days after they met with the vice president in the previous week.

The three vaccinated lawmakers who got infected by the disease were among the nearly 60 lawmakers who fled the state last week to break quorum in the House, Austin American-Statesman reported. The outlet further noted that most members stayed in the same hotel.

One of the three members who got infected discovered the positive test result on Friday evening but was not exhibiting symptoms. The result prompted all the House lawmakers to undergo a rapid test. Two additional members tested positive on Saturday, with one exhibiting mild symptoms of the disease, said the Texas House Democratic Caucus Leadership official.

"The House Democratic Caucus is following all the CDC guidelines and protocols," Chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, Representative Chris Turner said. Turner noted that the incident was a reminder COVID is still present and necessary precautions are still needed despite the vaccinations.

The three Texas Democrats who tested positive for COVID-19 will receive a PCR coronavirus test and will isolate for at least 10 days.
