US presidential candidate Joe Biden informs "happily" on Twitter: he and his wife Jill have negative corona test results.
US presidential candidate Joe Biden (77) was not infected with the corona virus. After his direct opponent Donald Trump (74) publicly announced his positive test result on Friday morning (October 2), the Democrat followed suit on Twitter. There he wrote: "I'm happy to report that Jill and I have tested negative for COVID."
Biden, who, like Trump, is currently campaigning to move into or stay in the White House, took the opportunity to make another appeal: "I hope this serves as a reminder: wear a mask, keep your distance and wash Your hands. "
Misjudgment of Donald Trump?
The US presidential election will take place on November 3rd. In a first TV duel between US President Trump and challenger Biden on September 29, the previous handling of the corona virus was also an issue. Trump, unlike Biden, mocked himself that evening without a mask: "I don't wear masks like him. He appears with the largest mask I've ever seen . I wear a mask when I think I need a mask. "
