"I have no symptoms": Biden's corona test positive again

US President Biden ends his corona-related isolation on Wednesday. he is negative But a few later, two dashes appear again on his test. The head of state's doctor has an explanation for this.

US President Joe Biden has again tested positive for the corona virus. He has once again gone into isolation, although he "still feels pretty good," his doctor Kevin O'Connor said in a statement from the White House in Washington.

O'Connor referred to the so-called "relapse" effect that can occur after treatment with the Covid drug Paxlovid. Developments are being monitored closely, but we are currently refraining from repeat treatment with Paxlovid. "I have no symptoms, but I will isolate myself for the safety of those around me," said the head of state on Twitter. He keeps working and will be back soon.

According to the White House, the 79-year-old was diagnosed with corona on Thursday last week. He had spent five days in isolation and, according to the doctor, was treated with the Covid 19 drug Paxlovid during this time. Biden kept his appointments by video and telephone. O'Connor said on Wednesday that the president would continue to be "particularly conscientious" about protecting employees close to him.

Biden returned to the Oval Office on Wednesday. His doctor had described the course as mild. In a speech in the White House garden, Biden said: "My symptoms were mild. I recovered quickly and I'm fine." He was able to work and do his chores throughout the isolation period. Most recently, it was said that Biden no longer had a fever and that his symptoms had almost completely subsided.

Biden is fully vaccinated against the coronavirus and boosted twice. He is the oldest president the United States has ever had. A medical examination last November found him "fit" to hold office.
