The daily testing for Biden for Covid-19 symptoms comes in the wake of First Lady Jill Biden's positive Covid-19 test on Monday.
Jean-Pierre said that Biden will adhere to the Covid-19 guidelines issued by the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention during his upcoming visits to India and Vietnam.
After attending the G20 summit in New Delhi, Biden will travel to Vietnam's capital Hanoi on Sept. 10 to meet with General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong and other leaders.
According to a CNN report, Biden's trip to Vietnam comes as his administration works to counter China's influence in the Indo-Pacific region and after he said last month that he would soon visit Hanoi “to change our relationship,” comments that reflected the current era of tension in Asia.
