WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden has tested positive for COVID-19 for a third straight day, in a case of “rebound” following treatment with an anti-viral drug.
White House physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor says in a letter Monday that the third positive test was anticipated.
"The president will continue his strict isolation measures."
After Biden tested positive on Saturday, he canceled upcoming plans to travel and hold in-person events. He's isolating for at least five days in accordance with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines.
The 79-year-old Biden first tested positive on July 21. He was treated with the anti-viral drug Paxlovid and he had ended his isolation on Wednesday.
