COVID-19: Biden Tests Negative, To Keep Isolating

United States President Joe Biden tested negative for COVID-19 on Saturday after experiencing a rebound infection but will continue to isolate until he gets a second negative result.

The White House physician, Dr. Kevin O'Connor said; "The President today continues to feel very well.

"Given his rebound positivity which we reported last Saturday, we have continued daily monitoring.

"This morning, his SARS-CoV-2 antigen testing was negative.

"In an abundance of caution, the President will continue his strict isolation measures pending a second negative test as previously described."

Biden first tested positive for the virus on July 21, experiencing a slight fever, cough and sore throat among other mild symptoms.

He isolated at the White House residence and completed a five-day course of Paxlovid, an antiviral treatment for those with mild to moderate symptoms who are considered a high risk for severe illness, before testing negative.
