First Lady Jill Biden tested positive for the virus owing to the pandemic on Monday while President Joe Biden remains negative for the virus, the White House said.
The first lady is “currently experiencing only mild symptoms,” her communications director Elizabeth Alexander said in a statement. Jill Biden is remaining at the Biden’s vacation home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, where the first couple was staying over Labor Day weekend.
It has been noted that White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said President Biden was administered a COVID test Monday evening following the first lady’s positive test and that he tested negative. Jean-Pierre, in a statement, said the president will “test at a regular cadence this week and monitor for symptoms.”
It is not known if any protocols will be taken on the White House campus in response to the first lady’s positive test. The White House has not yet commented what additional precautions the president will be taking in the coming days.
A Tuesday afternoon Medal of Honor ceremony for an Army veteran, to be attended by the president, remains on Biden’s official White House schedule.
It has come to light that Joe Biden traveled from the first couple’s vacation home in Rehoboth Beach to Philadelphia on Air Force One Monday morning to commemorate Labor Day while Jill Biden stayed in Rehoboth Beach. President Biden gave remarks at a Philadelphia union hall, then returned to the White House Monday evening.
