President Joe Biden has tested positive for Covid-19, the White House announced on Thursday.
Biden, who is fully-vaccinated and has received booster jabs twice, is experiencing “very mild symptoms” and will continue to carry out all his duties, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said.
In a tweet Mr Biden said he was “doing great” and “keeping busy”.
His wife First Lady Jill Biden said she had tested negative.
Consistent with White House protocol, the president will continue to work in isolation until he tests negative, Ms Jean-Pierre said – and will take part in meetings via telephone and Zoom.
