Tested positive!

On Thursday morning, the White House announced President Joe Biden tested positive for COVID-19. It was the first time that he is tested positive for Covid.

Is he vaccinated?

Biden was 79, fully vaccinated, and received two booster shots for the virus. The White House mentioned that he was experiencing mild symptoms.

Mild symptoms!

On Wednesday evening, he had mild symptoms, including a runny nose, fatigue, and an occasional dry cough. The president's physician, Dr. Kelvin O'Connor, said he anticipated as he would respond favorably.

Tested negative while traveling!

First lady Jill Biden said after the diagnosis while traveling to Detroit, he was fine and tested negative while with her plan schedule. Biden has taken Paxlovid, an FDA-authorized antiviral medication used to treat cases of the coronavirus.

CDC guidelines!

He will isolate at the White House with CDC guidelines and continue to carry out all of his duties at that time. He will be in contact with the members of the White House staff and informed that he planned meetings via zoom at the White House.

Daily updates of Biden!

The White House had an effort as they are updating his health condition of Biden, and he continued his work in isolation until he got a negative Covid result.

Donald Trump tested positive!

Former President Donald Trump also tested positive for this virus while in office. He stayed at Walter Reed Army Medical Center to be treated for Covid infection.

About vaccination!

People vaccinated against the virus are possible and expected as the vaccines are not 100 percent effective. Vaccinated people who also tested positive will likely be asymptomatic with milder illness than if they are not vaccinated. Most deaths from Covid-19 are unvaccinated, around 98 to 99 percent of people.
