The image is from a Biden campaign event held on June 17 in Darby, Pennsylvania. New York Times reporter Lisa Lerer attended the event, and wrote about the precautions taken at Biden’s campaign stop.

Those in attendance included local business leaders, elected officials, and reporters, all of whom were placed in socially distanced seats.
