President Joe Biden’s COVID-19 symptoms have “almost completely resolved,” according to a statement released by his medical team. The President, who tested positive for the virus last week, has shown significant improvement and is on track for a full recovery, doctors say.
Dr. Kevin O’Connor, the White House physician, reported that Biden’s mild symptoms, which included a cough, sore throat, and fatigue, have largely subsided. “The President continues to respond well to treatment,” Dr. O’Connor noted, adding that Biden’s vital signs remain stable and within normal ranges.
The President, who is fully vaccinated and has received two booster doses, has been following a regimen of isolation and working remotely to prevent the spread of the virus. Throughout his illness, Biden has maintained a light work schedule, participating in meetings and briefings via video conference.
In a brief video address released earlier this week, Biden reassured the public about his condition, emphasizing the importance of vaccination and booster shots in mitigating the severity of COVID-19. “Thanks to the vaccine, my symptoms have been mild, and I’m feeling much better,” Biden said.
The President’s positive prognosis has been met with relief both domestically and internationally. Vice President Kamala Harris, who has been closely monitoring the President’s health, expressed her optimism about his recovery. “We are grateful for the excellent care he is receiving and for the support and well-wishes from the American people,” Harris stated.
Biden’s case comes amid ongoing efforts to manage the pandemic, with health officials continuing to advocate for vaccination and booster shots as critical tools in the fight against COVID-19. The President’s experience has underscored the importance of these measures, highlighting how vaccination can significantly reduce the impact of the virus.
The White House has confirmed that Biden will remain in isolation until he tests negative, following CDC guidelines to ensure the safety of those around him. In the meantime, the President’s medical team will continue to monitor his health closely, providing updates as necessary.
