Plexiglass will separate Vice President Pence and Sen. Kamala Harris of California, the Democratic nominee, during their vice presidential debate on Wednesday.

That’s a precaution as a result of a cluster of coronavirus cases from the White House affecting President Trump and a number of aides and associates.
