President Biden on Wednesday continues to test positive for the coronavirus and will therefore maintain his “strict isolation measures,” the White House doctor says.
Kevin O’Connor said in a letter that Biden, who finished a light workout this morning, is feeling well but “still has the occasional cough, but less often than yesterday.
“He remains fever-free and in good spirits. His temperature, pulse, blood pressure, respiratory rate and oxygen saturation remain completely normal,” O’Connor added. “His lungs remain clear.”
“Given the recovery positivity we reported on Saturday, we continued daily monitoring. This morning, the SARS-CoV-2 antigen test remained positive,” the doctor also said.

Biden will remain isolated and “conduct the business of the American people from the Executive Residence,” according to O’Connor.
