Coronavirus: Joe Biden has not been tested for coronavirus, but Deputy Campaign Manager says he does not have Covid-19


Kate Bedingfield assured that there are “strict protocols” in place when Biden needs to be tested.

“He did not have the virus,” Bedingfield told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos on “This Week” when asked if he had been tested or contracted the virus. “We have put in place really strict protocols, as I think all of you journalists who attended Delaware this week saw at our convention. We have put in place incredibly strict protocols to make sure everyone involved, who ran Vice President Biden, who “It’s in the vicinity of Sen. Harris, has undergone the appropriate tests. The vice president did not have the virus.”

Asked if he has been tested, she said, “He has not been tested, he has not been tested” and added, “However, we have put the strictest protocols in place and move forward if he needs to be tested, he would be sure “But he has not been tested yet.”

Last month, Biden told reporters he was not tested for the virus and he also told CNN’s Jake Tapper in May that he was not being tested because he did not experience any symptoms. He also told Tapper that he followed medical advice, such as requiring people to enter his home to wear masks and gloves and that he practice social distance.

Biden, 77, is among those considered at high risk for the virus, according to guidelines from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
