US president, Joe Biden tests positive for Covid again and goes back into White House isolation

US president, Joe Biden has tested positive for COVID-19 again, and will now head back into isolation just days after he was cleared to resume his duties. 

 

In a memo, Biden's physician, Dr. Kevin O'Connor, said the president is experiencing no new symptoms and 'continues to feel quite well.' 

 

O'Connor had warned of the possibility of a testing 'rebound,' which can occur on a small percentage of patients who, like Biden, used the antiviral medication Paxlovid as part of their treatment against COVID. 

Biden had tested negative for COVID on Tuesday following five days of isolation, and he provided another negative test on Wednesday. He also tested negative on Thursday and Friday.  

The White House said Biden was infected by the BA.5 variant, which is responsible for a fresh surge in cases around the world.

The Senate had on Thursday resolved to refer the matter to the committee for legal advice, when lawmakers became divided on it. The panel was given the mandate to see whether the President violated the constitution or not. Most of the lawmakers who spoke on the withdrawal pointed out that the President had breached Section 80 of the 1999 Constitution, while a few disagreed.
