US President Joe Biden Tests Positive For Covid-President of United States, Joe Biden has tested positive for Covid-19.
This was confirmed in a press statement issued by the press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre.
The press secretary said Biden who is fully vaccinated and has received two Covid booster shots, is experiencing “very mild symptoms.”
The president’s symptom include a dry cough, runny nose and fatigue, White House physician Kevin O’Connor said in a memorandum.
Those symptoms began Wednesday evening, O’Connor said.
According to the statement, Biden has begun taking Paxlovid, an antiviral pill that can reduce the risk of hospitalization for people who test positive for Covid.
“I anticipate that he will respond favorably, as most maximally protected patients do,” the physician added.
Biden will work in isolation until he tests negative for the virus. He will hold all of his planned meetings remotely Thursday.
