President Biden is on his way to India for the G20 summit, where he will pitch the message that America's economy is strong and seek to strengthen or navigate ties between the world's largest economies. The president departed Washington after he tested negative for COVID-19 on Thursday.
It wasn't certain that Mr. Biden would be able to make the trip, after first lady Jill Biden tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday. The White House has said all week that the president has since taken multiple COVID-19 tests, all of which have been negative so far. As of Wednesday afternoon, he wasn't experiencing any symptoms, according to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.
Mr. Biden will wear a mask indoors for 10 days following exposure, and will test "regularly," Jean-Pierre told reporters Wednesday. The White House has not offered any contingency plans if the president tests positive en route to or in India.
