JUST IN: COVID-19 Hits President Biden, Experiencing Mild Symptoms, But Higher Risk Due To Age
President Joe Biden has tested positive for COVID-19, the White House announced on Thursday.
Despite being vaccinated and boosted, Biden is experiencing mild symptoms, including a runny nose and cough.
“The President will self-isolate and continue to carry out all of his duties fully during that time,” said White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.
According to the statement, the positive test came following an event Biden attended in Nevada.
Biden will be returning to his private residence in Delaware “where he will self-isolate and will continue to carry out all of his duties fully during that time,” Jean-Pierre said.
Biden’s physician said the president has shown “upper respiratory symptoms” and has received the first dose of the COVID drug Paxlovid. The results of a PCR confirmation test are still pending.
As Biden is 81 years old, his age puts him at a higher risk of becoming severely ill from COVID-19. This latest development has raised concerns about his health and fitness for office, particularly as the presidential elections approach.
