Kavanaugh, who along with the other Supreme Court justices has been vaccinated since January, is not experiencing symptoms, the court said. He was informed of the positive test result Thursday ahead of a ceremonial swearing-in for Associate Justice Amy Coney Barrett set for Friday.

The court announced Friday evening that Kavanaugh will participate in next week's oral arguments remotely from home after his positive test. It was not immediately clear if Kavanaugh has had a follow-up test.
