President Joe Biden has tested positive for COVID-19 for a second time. He is not experiencing any symptoms and will isolate at the White House.
"As described last week, acknowledging the potential for so-called 'rebound' COVID positivity observed in a small percentage of patients treated with PAXLOVID the President increased his testing cadence, both to protect people around him and to assure early detection of any return of viral replication," White House physician Dr. Kevin O'Connor said.
Biden tested negative on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, before testing positive on Saturday (July 30) morning.
President Biden first tested positive for COVID on July 21 and began isolating himself. He was prescribed Paxlovid and tested negative on July 26.
