Biden, 79, posted on Twitter that so-called “rebound” cases like his happen “with a small minority of folks.”
“I’ve got no symptoms, but I am going to isolate for the safety of everyone around me,” the tweet said. “I’m still at work and will be back on the road soon.”
Biden first tested positive for COVID on July 21, and subsequently tested negative Tuesday night after being administered the drug Paxlovid.
White House Physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor said in a letter on Saturday that Biden was among “a small percentage” of Paxlovid recipients who saw their symptoms “rebound.”
Biden tested positive on an antigen test and will isolate in case he is contagious, O’Connor.
