CIA Director Bill Burns is the latest person to come down with the coronavirus after being in contact with President Biden.

Why it matters: Although mask and other mandates are receding throughout the country, the risk of the leader of the free world contracting COVID-19 looms. Burns tested positive on Thursday, a day after meeting with Biden.

The CIA said in a news release that while Burns met with Biden, he wasn't considered a "close contact" because he was socially distanced and wearing an N-95 mask.

The president received his second booster shot Wednesday after receiving his first in September.

What we’re watching: While getting his latest shot, the president called on Congress to pass additional funding to fight the pandemic.
