PTI report citing AP, the United States President Joe Biden had tested negative Saturday, clearing the way to emerge from an isolation that lasted longer than expected because of a rebound case of the virus.
The White House physician, Dr. Kevin O'Connor, had said in his last update that Biden, “in an abundance of caution," would continue his “strict isolation measures" pending a second negative test, the report said.
Notably, the White House on Sunday did not say whether the US president had a second negative test and had not provided a new report from O'Connor since midday Saturday. “I'm feeling great," Biden said before boarding Marine One outside the White House, according to the AP report.
The United States president tested Covid-19 positive on July 21, and reportedly began taking the anti-viral medication Paxlovid, which is intended to decrease the likelihood of serious illness from the virus.
