The vice presidential debate is scheduled to take place at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City on Wednesday evening.

According to Politico's report, the plan to keep Pence and Harris separated using dividers was greenlit by The Cleveland Clinic, which is working as the Health Security Advisor to the CPD amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Plexiglass will also be used as a separator between the candidates and debate moderator Susan Page, the Washington bureau chief at USA Today, the news outlet reported.

The CPD additionally plans to increase the distance that organizers had originally slated to remain between Pence and Harris while they are seated onstage, several media outlets reported. Last week, the CPD decided to space the candidates at least 12 feet apart, according to.

Pence and Harris have both tested negative for COVID-19 in recent days, but concerns about Pence remain in the wake of President's COVID-19 diagnosis, which Trump announced early on October 2. The news of Trump's infection threw the debate schedule into question, but the CPD said that the vice presidential debate will take place in person as scheduled.

While Pence has routinely tested negative since Trump's diagnosis, he was in attendance at a White House event on September 26, during which Trump formally nominated Amy Coney Barrett to fill the Supreme Court seat left vacant after former Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died last month. Over the last few days, health experts have pointed to the nomination ceremony as a likely super spreader event after several people in attendance tested positive.

who cares about him ? can we just get it for Harris? Pence isn't even a human

Pence, You are going to get annihilated in the VP debate. Kamala Harris made Brett Kavanaugh cry. Bring Kleenex.

Yes and virus can’t go over or around the plexiglass. It would hit the glass and drop dead on contact.

Trump/Pence have lost the election and their health, and they want to physically take down their opponents' health with them.

Great news that the democratic candidate cares about her health and her opponents. That’s how viruses get beaten and economies are opened.
