President Joe Biden tests positive for COVID-19 - The Verge

President Joe Biden tested positive for COVID-19, the White House said. He is "experiencing very mild symptoms" and taking Paxlovid.

President Joe Biden has tested positive for COVID-19, the White House announced today. Biden is experiencing mild symptoms and has started taking Paxlovid, an antiviral treatment.

The news comes amid a wave of COVID-19 infections sweeping the country, driven by the highly transmissible BA.5 variant. Biden spent part of yesterday traveling and gave a speech about the administration’s clean energy goals in Massachusetts.

In the week before the positive test, NPR reports that the president had also “lingered for extended conversations, posed for pictures and gave hugs at the Congressional Picnic on the White House South Lawn.” During a four-day trip to the Middle East, he shook hands with leaders in the region and attended meetings and other events without wearing a mask, NPR said.

A letter from Biden’s doctor indicates that his symptoms are fairly mild and consist of fatigue, a runny nose, and a dry cough, which started on Wednesday evening.
