One day after Biden traveled to Massachusetts and Rhode Island to discuss climate change and four days after he returned from an action-packed overseas trip, he tested positive.
According to the office of the first lady, she tested negative on Thursday morning, but still plans to go to Georgia and Michigan as part of her summer learning tour with the education secretary. The Vice President had no scheduled events on her schedule for Thursday.
Biden received his first two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine in December 2020 and January 2021, and received two Pfizer booster shots in September 2021.
Infections have become more common with the Omicron variant, but the shots have proven to be highly effective in preventing serious illnesses.
The rapid global spread of Omicron, first detected and identified in southern Africa in November 2021, caused a massive spike in coronaviruses cases in the US before leveling off.
Omicron has a bachelor's degree. Among its prominent politicians and power players, 5 subvariant has remained in the Washington, DC area.
Dozens of members of Congress have reported contracting COVID-19 in the past few months after Vice President Kamala Harris announced that she tested positive for the drug.
After attending a bill signing event at the White House where she and other members of Congress, all maskless, gathered around Biden for a photo, Pelosi tested positive for carbon dioxide.
