First lady Jill Biden has tested positive for COVID-19, according to her office.
Jill
Biden tested negative on Monday during her routine testing, and then
developed "cold-like symptoms" Monday night, according to her
communications director, Elizabeth Alexander.
"She tested negative again on a rapid antigen test, but a PCR test came back positive," Alexander said in a statement.
She's been prescribed the antiviral treatment Paxlovid, which President Joe Biden also took after testing positive last month.
President
Biden first tested positive for COVID-19 on July 21, experiencing
symptoms including a cough and sore throat. He isolated and completed a
five-day course of Paxlovid before testing negative. He then experienced
a rebound infection,
testing positive again. On Aug. 6, the president's doctor said Biden
had received a negative test and was clear to break his isolation.
Jill Biden, who is double vaccinated and twice boosted, has "mild symptoms," Alexander said.
