Yellen will continue to work from home until she can return to Treasury offices, Adams said in an emailed statement.

Yellen, 78, returned to Washington on Saturday from a three-day trip to Raleigh, North Carolina, and Austin, Texas, to promote the Biden administration’s Inflation Reduction Act investments in clean energy and the Internal Revenue Service.
