Irish prime minister tests positive for COVID a day before meeting with Biden

Less than 24 hours before he was due for meetings at the White House, Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin tested positive for COVID-19. Martin had been attending an event in Washington Wednesday night when he received news of the positive result.  

President Biden was also at the same gala but it is unclear if the two leaders interacted. Both Martin, 61, and the president, 79, are vaccinated and boosted against the virus.

White House spokesman Chris Meagher told CBS News the president "was not a close contact" of the Taoiseach.
