The assistant who accompanied Biden on his European tour tested positive for COVID-19 
Assistant to US President Joe Biden, who accompanied him in during the European tour, contracted the coronavirus. Bloomberg reports.
The test results became known before the return of the American leader to the United States. Due to fears of further transmission of the coronavirus, this White House official, as well as several people from the American delegation, remained in Glasgow, where the climate summit is currently taking place. The exact number of people in quarantine has not been specified.
Earlier it was reported that the secret service “evacuated” Biden from the event at the climate summit in Glasgow, when he was preparing to announce a new plan to reduce methane emissions. The American leader was removed from the meeting for security reasons, as too many people gathered in the meeting room. The organizers of the summit were forced to postpone the event.
The international climate conference COP26 began in Glasgow on October 31 and is due to end on November 12. Participants discuss the problem of global warming and measures that will help contain the temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
