Biden tests positive for COVID and shows mild symptoms, White House says
"President Biden has tested positive for COVID-19, the White House announced on Thursday.
He is fully vaccinated and twice boosted and, according to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, "experiencing very mild symptoms." She said he has begun taking Paxlovid, a standard course of treatment for people who are considered to be at higher risk of adverse affects of COVID, including anyone over 50.
Biden "will isolate at the White House and will continue to carry out all of his duties fully during that time," Jean-Pierre said in a statement. "He has been in contact with members of the White House staff by phone this morning, and will participate in his planned meetings at the White House this morning via phone and Zoom from the residence."
Biden's last previous test for COVID was Tuesday, when he had a negative test result, the statement said."
