The White House reported that Joe Biden‘s coronavirus test came back negative, but the first lady Jill Biden’s office acknowledged on Monday night that she had tested positive. According to a statement, the 72-year-old is “experiencing only mild symptoms” and will stay at the couple’s Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, home.
The president has tested thus far COVID-negative, according to the White House, even though the virus is now again on the increase throughout the world.
Before Joe took a flight to Philadelphia on Monday to celebrate Labor Day with a speech to union employees, the pair spent Sunday night together at their Rehoboth Beach residence.
Before taking a flight back to Washington, DC to begin the work week, the president also spent a number of hours at their Wilmington house, which the Secret Service is currently renovating.
First Lady Jill Biden Tests POSITIVE For COVID-19, President Joe Biden In The Clear?
Karine Jean-Pierre, the White House press secretary, remarked, “Following the First Lady’s positive test for COVID-19, President Biden was administered a COVID test this evening.
The President tested negative.” Last August, Dr. Biden was hospitalized for COVID and was stranded at the South Carolina resort on Kiawah Island where the couple had been vacationing.
In July of last year, President Biden tested positive for COVID. He had Paxlovid treatment as well, and a few days later he experienced a rebound episode. The president and first lady have received vaccinations and booster shots. On Thursday, the president is anticipated to fly to India’s New Delhi for the G20 conference.
A recent admission by Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, that there wasn’t enough information to say whether masks stemmed the spread of the infection made headlines, “When you’re talking about the effect on the epidemic or the pandemic as a whole, the data are less strong.”
