President Joe Biden once more tested positive for COVID-19. In a letter to the president, Dr. Kevin O’Connor acknowledged that “rebound” Covid-19 positive is “seen in a small number of patients treated with Paxlovid,” and that it likely occurred on Saturday morning.
Joe Biden will not resume therapy since he has “no reemergence of symptoms, and continues to feel fairly well,” according to the White House.
Before testing positive on Saturday morning, according to O’Connor, the President had negative results on Tuesday evening, Wednesday morning, Thursday morning, and Friday morning.
The President is not showing any symptoms, according to Biden’s doctor, but he will isolate in the White House.
Joe Biden postponed trips to Michigan, where he was scheduled to speak on the recently approved bill aimed at promoting the US semiconductor industry, and to his home state of Delaware on Sunday.
After Biden’s positive Covid-19 test on Saturday, a White House representative indicated contact tracing procedures were in progress.
Although he was observed wearing a mask more frequently, the President has resumed functions at the White House after testing negative this week.
Officials from the White House claimed they made an effort to create social distance during the open gatherings he conducted there.
On July 21, Joe Biden had his initial positive test. His doctor reported that he had only mild symptoms during his initial illness, such as a runny nose, lethargy, high temperature, and a cough.
The US Food and Drug Administration has granted emergency use authorization for Paxlovid, which needs a prescription from a doctor and is used to treat mild to moderate Covid-19 in people 12 and older who are at high risk of developing serious illness.
The President finished a five-day course of it. The White House reported that Biden had 17 close contacts when he initially tested positive last week, but none of them afterwards tested positive.
A White House representative informed CNN that First Lady Jill Biden is still in Delaware, where she has been since the President’s initial positive Covid-19 test. She hasn’t visited the White House again.
The president was supposed to travel to Wilmington on Sunday with the first lady.
