WASHINGTON (Diya TV) —
President Biden has tested positive for COVID-19, according to a statement from the White House. The President, who is fully vaccinated and has received multiple booster shots, is experiencing mild symptoms. Biden is isolating at the White House and will continue to carry out his duties remotely.
The positive test came as a surprise to some, given the President’s adherence to public health guidelines and his consistent use of protective measures. However, experts like Dr. Anthony Fauci have noted that breakthrough infections, particularly with newer variants, can occur even in vaccinated individuals.
Biden said that “he feels good” to reporters in Las Vegas.
The White House has implemented additional measures to prevent further spread, including contact tracing and increased testing for staff members. The President’s schedule has been adjusted to accommodate his isolation period, with several planned public appearances being postponed or moved to virtual formats.
This is not the first time President Biden has faced COVID-19. He previously tested positive last year but recovered swiftly without significant complications. The President has been a vocal advocate for vaccination, encouraging all Americans to get vaccinated and boosted to protect themselves and their communities.
Health officials continue to monitor the President’s condition closely, and updates will be provided as necessary.
