President of the United States, Joe Biden has tested negative for Covid-19 but will remain in isolation pending a second test.
Biden’s physician, Dr Kevin O’Connor announced in a letter Saturday saying, “The President 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 has not left the White House for 17 days, after initially testing positive for Covid-19 on July 21.
After taking a five-day course of Pfizer’s antiviral drug, Paxlovid, Biden tested positive for a rebound case of Covid-19 last Saturday and resumed isolation.
There are currently no events on his public schedule for the weekend. (CNN)
