First lady Jill Biden tested positive for COVID-19 after President Joe Biden‘s long battle with the virus.
“After testing negative for COVID-19 on Monday during her regular testing cadence, the First Lady began to develop cold-like symptoms late in the evening,” Elizabeth Alexander, the first lady’s communications director, wrote in a Tuesday statement.

Alexander added: “She tested negative again on a rapid antigen test, but a PCR test came back positive.”
Like her husband, the first lady has been prescribed a course of Paxlovid and, following CDC guidance, will isolate from others for at least five days.
