The former vice president and his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, have tested negative for COVID-19 after appearing at Tuesday's presidential debate with Trump.
Trump and Biden did not shake hands during the debate but stood without masks about 10 feet apart for the 90-minute event.
The Bidens visited Johnstown, Pennsylvania this week during a campaign train tour that launched in Ohio and made multiple stops in western Pennsylvania.
