United States President Joe Biden this saturday gave negative in a covid test, after a week testing positive for a “rebound” case of the disease, but will continue to isolate until a second test confirms the result.
“The president continues to feel good”Biden’s doctor, Kevin O’Connor, explained in a letter distributed by the White House, in which he explained that the isolation will be carried out “out of an abundance of caution”.
The White House announced on July 21 that Biden had been infected and on July 27 he came out of isolation after testing negative.
However, on July 30, he tested positive again, according to O’Connor for the effects of the oral antiretroviral drug Paxlovid that he took for five days to help with the symptoms of the disease.
According to the doctor, that anticovid pill may have a “rebound effect”which is the one that would have caused the president’s second positive.
Biden is expected to travel with First Lady Jill Biden to Kentucky on Monday to oversee rescue teams and support families affected by recent flooding, which has left dozens dead and hundreds missing. in the state.
