Barack Obama has COVID-19. The 60-year-old former president revealed his diagnosis on social media Sunday afternoon, saying he has been experiencing a “scratchy throat” for a couple of days but other than that felt alright at this time.
And thankfully, he said that Michelle Obama has tested negative. Obama wrote: Related: Hailey Bieber Hospitalized With ‘Small Blood Clot’ In Her Brain! It is unknown where the politician contracted the virus — but it seems like the result came in on March 13 based on his post.
Since the start of the pandemic two years ago, Obama has been very vocal about getting the COVID-19 vaccines when they became available last year.
He said in a statement on Facebook in March 2021: This is a good reminder to everyone to continue to do everything they can to reduce the effects of COVID, such as wearing masks in public spaces and getting vaccinated and boosted — if you have not done so yet.
