The president of the United States, Joe Biden, tested positive for coronavirus again, after four days of negative tests, in what his doctor has described as a “rebound”, although this time without symptoms.
“After testing negative on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, the president has tested positive late Saturday morning in an antigen test,” explained Biden’s doctor, Kevin O’Connor.
O’Connor recounted that this so-called “rebound” can occur in a small percentage of patients treated with Paxlovid, the drug used with the president.

Now Biden “will resume a strict isolation protocol”, according to his doctor, who points out, however, that it is not necessary to resume the president’s treatment.
“The president has not experienced any recurrence of symptoms and continues to feel quite well. Obviously we will continue with a close observation, ”he stated.

The case of Biden, who has the complete vaccination schedule and two booster doses against the coronavirus, has served the US Administration to encourage the population to become immunized.
It should be remembered that the US president tested positive for covid-19 on July 21, although at all times he has evolved favorably from the disease and has only presented “very mild symptoms.”
