Taoiseach Micheál Martin has tested positive for Covid-19 and will not attend the White House for an in-person meeting with US President Joe Biden.Mr Martin was due to accept an international leadership award but was whisked away shortly after US President Joe Biden welcomed him to the event which took place at the National Building Museum.
Mr Martin tested negative on his antigen test but a positive test was picked up from a member of his delegation.The news broke right before Mr Martin was due on stage to accept the award and give a speech. But then, Ireland’s Ambassador to the US, Dan Mulhall, took to the stage to accept the award on behalf of the Taoiseach and break the news to the room.“This evening, before we left to come here, all members of the delegation were tested for Covid-19 and the test on the Taoiseach was negative.
A world leader who tests positive, and decides not to share a stage & risk the health of others. Contrast that with Trump knowing he was Covid+, then attempting to put Biden at risk, purposely, at the debate.
