STORY: President Biden has tested positive for COVID. He 'will isolate at the White House and will continue to carry out all of his duties fully during that time,' a White House statement said.
President Biden departs Holy Trinity Catholic Church in the Georgetown section of Washington, D.C., after attending a Mass on Sunday, July 17, 2022. He is fully vaccinated and twice boosted and, according to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre,"experiencing very mild symptoms. He has begun taking Paxlovid."
"Per standard protocol for any positive case at the White House, the White House Medical Unit will inform all close contacts of the President during the day today, including any Members of Congress and any members of the press who interacted with the President during yesterday's travel" to Somerset, Mass., the statement said.
For his first year in office, a cautious approach to COVID had been a defining feature of the Biden Administration. Biden avoided large indoor gatherings, the White House imposed mask mandates, and staffers would regularly hold zoom meetings from behind closed doors in their offices, rather than congregate for in person meetings.
Several heads of government have contracted COVID-19 since the pandemic began. In January, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who is vaccinated and boosted, announced he had tested positive for the virus.
