President Joe Biden has tested positive for COVID-19, according to statements from the White House press secretary and the president’s doctor. Despite being vaccinated and boosted, Biden is experiencing mild symptoms and will isolate at his home in Delaware while continuing to work. The president’s physician reported that Biden started experiencing symptoms such as a runny nose, cough, and “general malaise” on Wednesday afternoon before testing positive for the virus. Despite his mild symptoms, his vital signs are within normal range. Biden has received his first dose of Paxlovid and will be self-isolating at his home in Rehoboth.
This news comes after Biden’s previous positive COVID-19 test in July 2022, followed by a rebound case later that month. The president was in Las Vegas for an event before testing positive and returning to the East Coast. Despite feeling “good,” he walked cautiously up the stairs to Air Force One. Regular updates on President Biden’s condition will be provided by the White House as he isolates and continues to work remotely. The president’s positive test highlights the ongoing challenges posed by COVID-19 and serves as a reminder of the importance of vaccination and other preventive measures to combat the virus.
