Navarro confirmed on “CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360” that she's since taken a rapid antigen test and a PCR test, both of which have returned false positive. She said she is waiting for a third test so that she could fly home to Miami.

Navarro applauded Harris’s team, the Secret Service and the team at "The View" for how the situation was handled.

 “It takes so much work to do an interview like this,” Navarro said. “We were very proud to have the vice president come on 'The View' and then it turned into an episode of 'Curb Your Enthusiasm,' it was surreal.”
