A transition spokesperson indicated Biden will not quarantine and that the development will not accelerate the timeline of when he gets a vaccine.
President-elect Joe Biden’s incoming White House senior adviser Cedric Richmond tested positive for coronavirus days after interacting with Biden during a trip to Georgia on Tuesday, according to a statement from transition spokesperson Kate Bedingfield. In contrast with the White House – which has been stricken with several major outbreaks of the virus after taking a generally cavalier attitude towards health precautions – the Biden campaign and transition have been relatively coronavirus-free.
