Former U.S Vice president and Democratic presidential candidate in the November 3 poll, Joe Biden has offered thoughts and prayers for his main challenger, President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump after the announcement of their positive Covid-19 test results, Friday.
“Jill and I send our thoughts to President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump for a swift recovery. We will continue to pray for the health and safety of the president and his family,” Biden tweeted Friday.

The brief comment did not directly address the major question raised by the fact that Biden stood on the same stage Tuesday night with Trump during the first presidential debate in Cleveland.
Biden is 77 years old, and while he habitually wears face masks during public campaign events, he did not do so when he appeared at Case Western Reserve University Tuesday night.
Biden was scheduled to make a campaign appearance in Grand Rapids, Mich., Friday prior to Trump’s stunning announcement.

The debate setting was designed with Covid-19 guidelines and was overseen by the medical staff at the Cleveland Clinic.
But the virus also spread through the air. CNN also reported that the commission plans to test all those who attended the Cleveland debate.
Jill Biden and First Lady Melania Trump both attended the debate, along with multiple members of the Trump family.
Melani, who also tested positive, was unmasked when she joined her husband on the stage. Jill Biden was masked on stage.
Biden, U.S. Democratic presidential candidate, will receive a Covid-19 test, Friday morning, following President Trump’s recent infection, CNN reported, citing a source familiar with his plans.
