This was announced by his personal physician
US President Joe Biden has again tested positive for COVID-19, world agencies reported. He has no symptoms and will isolate himself again to protect his entourage, his personal physician announced in a letter released by the White House.
Biden making his first public appearance in days
Biden, who is 79, tested positive for an antigen test Saturday morning, Dr. Kevin O’Connor wrote. He emphasizes that in patients treated with Paxlovid for infection with COVID-19, after several negative tests, a positive test can be observed again after the end of the treatment, and this is exactly what happened with Biden.
The doctor emphasizes that the US president’s symptoms have not recurred and he feels completely fine. At this stage, there is no reason to resume treatment, but the president is under observation.
Biden has fully recovered from COVID-19
We recall that Biden contracted COVID-19 on July 21 and had mild symptoms. He has a full vaccination cycle and two booster doses.
During the infection, he was treated with Paxlovid, an antiviral medication that works by reducing the virus’s ability to replicate, thereby slowing the progression of the disease. The medication is taken in the first days after the onset of symptoms to be effective. In the US, it is recommended for people who are at risk of becoming seriously ill. Biden falls into that category because of his age.
