President Joe Biden’s ‘symptoms have almost completely resolved’ after contracting COVID-19according to his doctor, and the president remained in self-isolation for the fifth consecutive day on Monday.
Biden announced on Sunday that he would end his re-election campaign in a letter posted on social media. He also announced in a statement on Sunday that he was endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris.
The president was last seen in public on Wednesday evening after arriving at a U.S. air base in Dover, Delaware, after testing positive for COVID-19 while campaigning in Las Vegas earlier in the day. He then traveled by motorcade to his vacation home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
Biden’s physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, said the president had completed his 10th dose of the COVID-19 drug Paxlovid by Monday morning and was continuing to perform all of his presidential duties.
“His symptoms have almost completely resolved. His pulse, blood pressure, respiratory rate and temperature remain completely normal,” O’Connor wrote. “His oxygen saturation remains excellent on room air. His lungs remain clear.”
The White House said Biden received separate briefings Monday from homeland security adviser Liz Sherwood-Randall and national security adviser Jake Sullivan. Both briefings were conducted virtually.
