President Joe Biden Tests Positive for Covid-19
U.S. President Joe Biden tested positive for Covid-19 on Thursday morning and is “experiencing very mild symptoms,” the White House said in a statement.
“He is fully vaccinated and twice boosted,” said Karine Jean-Pierre, the White House press secretary. “He has begun taking [Pfizer’s Covid-19 pill] Paxlovid. Consistent with CDC guidelines, he will isolate at the White House and will continue to carry out all of his duties fully during that time.”
Jean-Pierre stated that the White House will provide a daily update on the president’s status as he carries out the full duties of the office while in isolation.
The U.S. has officially recorded more than 89 million Covid-19 infections and at least a million deaths.
