President Joe Biden has tested positive for Covid-19, according to a statement released by the White House. The President is reportedly doing well and experiencing mild symptoms, including a slight fever and congestion. Vice President Kamala Harris has tested negative and is continuing her duties.
Biden’s positive test comes amid a surge in Covid-19 cases nationwide, driven largely by the highly contagious Omicron variant. The President received his booster shot months ago and has been following CDC guidelines, including wearing masks indoors and practicing social distancing.
The White House medical team is closely monitoring Biden’s condition, and he is expected to continue working from the White House residence during his isolation period. This development raises questions about potential impacts on Biden’s upcoming schedule, including scheduled meetings and public appearances.
