Biden took two antigen tests, one Tuesday night and one Wednesday morning, which were negative, Dr. Kevin O’Connor wrote in his letter.
The president will wear a tight-fitting mask for 10 days to prevent the spread of the virus and will increase the frequency with which he is tested to detect a possible resurgence of the virus.
O’Connor cited the potential for a “bounce” after Biden received the antiviral Paxlovid, explaining the more frequent testing.
The president is scheduled to speak at 11:30 a.m. ET about Covid from the White House Rose Garden, according to a White House official.
This is a current story and will be updated.
