The aide, who has not been identified, tested positive via a rapid test and awaits a follow-up PCR test, according to a White House official who spoke to Bloomberg.

Biden was accompanied to Europe by 13 cabinet members and other staff, who were transported through Rome by an 85-car motorcade that drew scrutiny for the size of its carbon footprint.

“This individual did not have close contact with the president and is not exhibiting any symptoms,” a White House official told CNN. “The person has remained in Scotland to complete the quarantine period with the support of the administration.”
