AG Barr will self quarantine out of an abundance of caution.
Kerri Kupec of the DOJ tweeted Sunday morning “the Attorney General has been tested four times for COVID-19 since Friday morning and all four test results were negative. He is feeling great and has no symptoms.”
She added “Thank you to all who have expressed concern and support!”

The move is a reversal and comes after photos were published showing Barr near Kellyanne Conway, who tested positive.
Attorney General William Barr has decided not to self-quarantine, despite potential prolonged exposure to the coronavirus. He attended a White House event last Saturday, and several others who attended the same function later tested positive.https://t.co/04IBKF3fm2
