President Joe Biden has finally tested negative for COVID-19, two weeks after extended isolation and testing positive again after testing negative.
The White House has continued to monitor Biden’s health on a daily basis since testing positive for COVID-19 a second time a week ago. On Saturday, Biden’s antigen testing came back negative, and Biden “continues to feel very well,” according to a letter from Dr. Kevin O’Connor, Biden’s White House physician.
“In an abundance of caution, the President will continue his strict isolation measures pending a second negative test as previously described,” the letter read. ” As promised, I will keep your office updated with any changes in his condition or treatment plan.

Biden reentered quarantine last weekend after receiving a positive antigen test result on the morning of July 30. O’Connor took care to underscore how “a small percentage of patients treated with Paxlovid” are susceptible to a rebound diagnosis in his note to press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.
Biden initially tested positive last month, complaining of a sore throat, runny nose, cough, body aches, and fatigue. White House aides gathered in the Rose Garden last week to applaud his return to the Oval Office after his first period of isolation in the residence. There, he compared his experience with the virus to that of former President Donald Trump.

“When my predecessor got COVID, he had to get helicoptered to Walter Reed Medical Center,” Biden said at the time. “He was severely ill. Thankfully, he recovered. When I got COVID, I worked from upstairs of the White House — in the offices upstairs.”
