WASHINGTON ― President Joe Biden has again tested positive for COVID-19.
Biden tested positive following an event Wednesday in Las Vegas, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement.
“He is vaccinated and boosted, and he is experiencing mild symptoms,” she said.
Biden will return to his home in Delaware, where he will self-isolate, Jean-Pierre said. "The White House will provide regular updates on the president’s status as he continues to carry out the full duties of the office while in isolation," she said.
Biden gave a thumbs up to reporters from the window of his presidential vehicle as his motorcade arrived at the tarmac at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas to head to Delaware. He did not wear a face mask as he boarded Air Force One.
