US First lady, Jill Biden tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday with an
apparent “rebound” infection and will return to isolation.

has reinitiated isolation procedures,” communications director Kelsey Donohue

“The White House Medical Unit has conducted contact tracing and close
contacts have been notified.”
The first lady first tested positive
last week and was in isolation in South Carolina for five days. She
experienced mild, cold-like symptoms and was treated with the antiviral drug
Paxlovid, which has been linked to rebound infections. She joined President
Biden in Delaware on Sunday following two negative tests.
The
president also experienced a rebound case last month, when he tested positive
again several days after leaving isolation. The president returned on
Wednesday to the White House, where he is set to announce his plan to cancel
up to $20,000 in debt for millions of Americans with federal student loans.
