US President Joe Biden must have been infected with the highly contagious BA.5 sub-variant of omicron. The information is from the Democrat’s doctor, Kevin O’Connor, in a bulletin released yesterday.
However, the US president’s Covid-19 symptoms continue to improve and now include “less irritating” sore throat, runny nose, loose cough and body aches.
The doctor said Biden’s lungs remained clear and his oxygen saturation “remained excellent in room air.”
Biden, 79, tested positive for Covid on Thursday, which the White House said was experiencing mild symptoms. His diagnosis came as a highly contagious sub-variant of the coronavirus, spurring a new wave of cases in the United States.
Referring to the Pfizer antiviral drug that the president took, he said, “The president continues to tolerate the treatment well. We will continue with Paxlovid as planned.”
The White House has tried to highlight Biden’s ability to cope with his illness. On Thursday, he posted a video of the president reassuring Americans that he was fine, and on Friday he attended virtual meetings with White House officials.
Weekend presidential events were not shown on his calendar. The President’s wife, First Lady Jill Biden, is at the family home in Wilmington, Delaware.
