US President Tested Positive For COVID Again.

Days after testing negative for noval coronavirus, US President Joe Biden was tested again on 30 July, an official statement from the White House said. Physician Kevin O'Connor noted that it represents 'rebound' positivity.
Biden's physician O'Connor that the rebound in COVID-19 positivity is observed in a small percentage of patients treated with PAXLOVID. As Biden has not experienced any recurrence of symptoms and feels quite well, there is no need to initiate treatment.
"This represents 'rebound' positivity. The President has experienced no reemergence of symptoms and continues to feel quite well. This being the case, there is no reason to reinitiate treatment at this time, but we will obviously continue close observation," he added.
According to the White House, the US President will continue to follow strict isolation procedures.
"As I've stated previously, the President continues to be very specifically conscientious about protecting any of the Executive Residence, White House, Secret Service and other staff whose duties require any (albeit socially distanced) proximity to him," the physician said.
"As promised, I will keep your office updated with any changes in his condition or treatment plan," he added.
