Joe Biden
EKO HOT BLOG reports that President Joe Biden has tested positive again for Covid-19, the White House said Saturday.
President Biden tested negative on Thursday after 5-day isolation following a positive test last week.
His physician said he’s not experiencing any symptoms, but that he will isolate again at the White House.
In accordance with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines, Biden will reenter isolation for at least five full days. The agency says most rebound cases remain mild and that severe disease during that period has not been reported.
Word of Biden’s positive test came — he had been negative Friday morning — just two hours after the White House announced a presidential visit to Michigan this coming Tuesday to highlight the passage of a bill to promote domestic high-tech manufacturing.
Biden had also been scheduled to visit his home in Wilmington, Delaware, on Sunday morning, where first lady Jill Biden has been staying while the president was positive. Both trips have been canceled as Biden has returned to isolation.
Biden, 79, was treated with the anti-viral drug Paxlovid, and tested negative for the virus on Tuesday and Wednesday. He was then cleared to leave isolation while wearing a mask indoors.
His positive tests puts him among the minority of those prescribed the drug to experience a rebound case of the virus.
