WASHINGTON. First Lady Jill Biden has tested positive for COVID-19, as confirmed by her spokeswoman on Monday. Fortunately, she is currently experiencing only mild symptoms.
President Joe Biden promptly underwent testing for the virus following his wife’s positive result, and his tests have come back negative. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre announced that President Biden would continue to undergo regular testing and would be closely monitored for any symptoms.
For the time being, Jill Biden will remain at the couple’s residence in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, as communicated by her communications director, Elizabeth Alexander. The First Lady had originally planned to begin the new school year on Tuesday at Northern Virginia Community College, where she teaches English and writing. Due to her current health condition, she is collaborating with school officials to arrange for substitute teachers to cover her classes.
Over the weekend, Jill Biden had accompanied President Biden on a visit to Florida to assess the damage caused by Hurricane Idalia. Following the trip, President Biden spent part of the Labor Day weekend at their Delaware beach house before departing on Monday for a union event in Philadelphia and returning to the White House.
Both President and First Lady Biden had previously contracted COVID-19 last summer, and their recent experiences have raised awareness about the ongoing importance of vaccination and safety measures in the fight against the virus.
