The White House announced Thursday morning that President Joe Biden had tested positive for COVID-19. This is despite the fact he is vaccinated and has had two booster shots.
The White House's statement says Biden is experiencing "mild symptoms" and is now taking Paxlovid. They assured Biden will work remotely to "carry out all of his duties."
When former President Donald Trump tested positive for COVID-19 in 2020, Biden said Trump bore some responsibility for getting infected with COVID because he would often not wear a mask or social distance at campaign events.
