US President Joe Bayiden, who accompanied him during the European tour, infected with coronavirus. It is reported by Bloomberg.
The test results became known before the return of the American leader to the United States. Due to the concerns of the further transfer of Coronavirus, this employee of the White House, as well as several people from the American delegation remained in Glasgow, where the climatic summit is currently undergoing. The exact number of people who stay on quarantine is not specified.
Earlier it was reported that the secret service “evacuated” by Bayden from the event on the climate summit in Glasgow, when he was preparing to declare a new plan for reducing methane emissions. The American leader was withdrawn from a meeting of security reasons, as there were too many people in the negotiation. The organizers of the summit were forced to postpone the event.
The COP26 International Climate Conference began in Glasgow on October 31, it should be completed on November 12. Participants discuss the problem of global warming and measures that will help keep the temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
