Washington: Ashley Corona Positive, daughter of US President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden, has been infected with the Coronavirus and will not travel to Latin America with her mother Jill Biden. The White House gave this information. Michael Larosa, the spokesman for First Lady Jill Biden, said the Biden couple could not be considered close contacts.
White House press secretary Carine Jean-Pierre said Ashley had met with the president and the first lady “several days” earlier. Ashley Biden was announced to be infected with the coronavirus before Jill Biden left for Ecuador on Wednesday. Jill Biden is on a six-day visit to Latin America, starting with Ecuador. After this, she will also go to Panama and Costa Rica.
This is the second time that Ashley Biden (40) has had to cancel her official visit. Earlier in May, she was unable to travel with her mother to Eastern Europe due to contact with an infected person. However, Ashley was not infected at that time. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, spending 15 minutes or more in a 24-hour period with an infected person is considered “close contact” with the infected.
