JUST IN: President Joe Biden's doctor says the president has tested positive for the virus days after testing negative.
A letter from the physician, Dr. Kevin O'Connor, says,"so-called 'rebound' COVID positivity is observed in a small percentage of patients treated with Paxlovid."
The president was given Paxlovid, an antiviral pill authorized to treat COVID-19, after he first tested positive for the virus on July 21. While the president has tested positive for COVID-19 again, O'Connor says he is not experiencing symptoms and feels"quite well." He added that there is no reason to start any new treatments.Report a typo
