Biden, who is fully vaccinated and doubly boosted, has tested positive for Covid. The president is experiencing “very mild” symptoms and has begun taking Paxlovid, the White House said.
President Joe Biden has tested positive for Covid, the White House said on Thursday, raising concerns about his immediate health and underscoring the pandemic’s persistent shadow over his presidency.
“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,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement. The first lady Jill Biden tested negative for Covid on Thursday morning, said White House spokesperson Michael LaRosa. But because she is a close contact, she will follow CDC guidance on masking and distancing and plans to keep to her scheduled visits Thursday to Michigan and Georgia.
The announcement of his infection comes as the White House is trying to manage crises on multiple fronts. It also occurs as the administration has sought to project a new phase in the pandemic fight, one in which the country would learn to largely live with and manage the virus.
