Biden tests negative for COVID-19 twice, ending isolation at the White House

Washington — President Biden tested negative for COVID-19 twice and will end his isolation at the White House Wednesday, physician Dr. Kevin O'Connor said.

Mr. Biden's two negative tests — the first on Tuesday evening and the second Wednesday morning — come after he tested positive for COVID-19 last week and began a course of Paxlovid, an antiviral drug. O'Connor said in a letter released by the White House that the president completed his five-day course of the treatment 36 hours ago and completed five full days of isolation as of Wednesday morning.

"Back to the Oval. Thanks to Doc for the good care, and to all of you for your support," Mr. Biden tweeted, with a photo of his negative at-home test.
