'The President today continues to feel very well,' Dr. Kevin O'Connor said in a letter to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.
The White House says President Joe Biden tested positive for COVID-19 again Saturday, slightly more than three days after he was cleared to exit coronavirus isolation.
"The President today continues to feel very well," Dr. Kevin O'Connor said in a letter to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. "Given his rebound positivity which we reported last Saturday, we have continued daily monitoring. This morning, his SARS-CoV-2 antigen testing was negative." Biden first tested positive for the virus on July 21, experiencing a slight fever, cough and sore throat among other mild symptoms. He isolated at the White House residence and completed a five-day course of Paxlovid, an antiviral treatment for those with mild to moderate symptoms who are considered a high risk for severe illness, before testing negative."We've got through COVID with no fear -- I got through it with no fear.
While uncommon, some patients who take Paxlovid can test positive again after finishing the treatment course but doctors emphasize that doesn't mean the drug isn't effective. High-risk patients who take the antiviral treatment still have a dramatically lower risk of being hospitalized due to the virus.
