Covid-19: Jill Biden again tested positive for Corona

The First Lady has again tested positive for the corona virus. The US President’s wife only ended her isolation on Sunday after being infected with the virus.

The US President’s wife, Jill Biden, has again tested positive for the corona virus. The 71-year-old suffered a “relapse,” her spokeswoman Kelsey Donohue said in Washington.

The first lady has no symptoms, but will go back into isolation. US President Joe Biden (79) tested negative, according to the White House. As a so-called contact person, he will now do a test more often and wear a mask around others.

Jill Biden only ended her isolation on Sunday after being infected with the virus. Like her husband, she had been treated with the drug Paxlovid. It is well known that Covid disease can return shortly after therapy with Paxlovid. According to scientists, however, it rarely occurs. The President also suffered a relapse a few days after being infected in July.

According to the CDC, such a “Covid rebound” usually occurs two to eight days after an initial recovery. Paxlovid is generally recommended for patients who are not seriously ill but are at high risk of being admitted to hospital, for example because of their age. The tablets from the US company Pfizer contain two active ingredients that are intended to inhibit the multiplication of the virus in the body.
