Joe Biden has tested negative for Covid-19.

Wilmington, United States:

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden said on Friday he had tested negative for Covid-19, three days after his debate with Donald Trump, who contracted the disease.

“I am happy to report that Jill and I have tested negative for Covid,” Biden said. “Hope this reminds you to wear a mask, keep your social distance and wash your hands.”

Minutes earlier, her doctor Kevin O’Connor had released a statement via the 77-year-old former vice president’s campaign on the negative result.

“Vice President Joe Biden and Dr Jill Biden underwent PCR testing for Covid-19 today and Covid-19 has not been detected,” O’Connor said.

Trump’s positive diagnosis – announced in the early hours of Friday after one of his top aides, Hope Hicks, tested positive – rocked the White House race a month from the end.

Previously, Biden had wished his 74-year-old opponent and his wife Melania a speedy recovery from Covid-19.

“Jill and I send our thoughts to President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump for a speedy recovery,” Biden tweeted.
