President Joe Biden on Nov. 15 skipped a dinner and event he'd been scheduled to attend after an official he met with earlier in the week tested positive for COVID-19.

Biden, in Asia for a Group of 20 summit and other events, opted against attending the G20 gala dinner with Joko Widodo, the president of Indonesia, and other world leaders.
