This is the best summary I could come up with:

President Joe Biden tested positive for Covid-19 on Wednesday while he was in Las Vegas for a series of events, the White House said.

In a statement, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Biden tested positive “following his first event in Las Vegas.”

The White House will provide regular updates on the President’s status as he continues to carry out the full duties of the office while in isolation.”

Biden, 81, has kept a full schedule in Nevada this week after questions were raised about his health and capabilities after a dismal debate performance in late June.

Biden, who had been expected to speak at the group's event in Las Vegas, was about an hour and a half late before the announcement was made.

Biden said in an interview with BET on Tuesday that he would drop out of the presidential race if he developed a medical condition that prevented him from running.
