Hours after President Donald Trump announced that he had tested positive for the virus, and days after they interacted during the presidential debate, his rival in the race for the US presidency, Joe Biden, has said that he tested negative on the tests.

WILMINGTON, USA – Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden said Friday that he tested negative for the coronavirus, three days after his debate with Donald Trump, who contracted the disease.
“I am pleased to report that Jill and I have tested negative for COVID,” Biden said. “I hope this serves as a reminder: wear a mask, maintain social distance, and wash your hands.”
Minutes earlier, his doctor Kevin O’Connor issued a statement through the former vice president’s campaign about the negative result.
“Vice President Joe Biden and Dr. Jill Biden underwent PCR testing for COVID-19 today and COVID-19 was not detected,” O’Connor said.
I am pleased to report that Jill and I have tested negative for COVID. Thank you all for your messages of concern. Hope this serves as a reminder for you: wear a mask, keep your social distance, and wash your hands.
