Biden's COVID symptoms have "improved meaningfully," White House doctor says

Washington — President Biden's symptoms from COVID have improved "meaningfully" in the last day, though he still has a cough, the president's physician said Friday. 

Mr. Biden had a fourth dose of Paxlovid on Friday morning and his "loose, non­productive cough and hoarseness continue to be his primary symptoms, but they have improved meaningfully from yesterday," Dr. Kevin O'Connor said in a letter distributed by the White House. 

The physician said Mr. Biden "continues to tolerate treatment well" and will continue taking Paxlovid.
