"I'm happy to report that Jill and I have tested negative for COVID," Biden said. "I hope this serves as a reminder: wear a mask, keep social distance, and wash your hands."
Minutes before, his doctor Kevin O'Connor issued a statement via 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.
