US First Lady Jill Biden has twice tested negative for Covid-19 and will come out of isolation on Sunday, the White House said.
President Joe Biden’s 71-year-old wife tested positive on Aug. 16, nearly two weeks after her husband contracted the virus for the second time.
She is double vaccinated and twice boosted and has had mild symptoms. She was prescribed a course of the oral antiviral pill Paxlovid.
“Following five days of isolation and negative results from two consecutive COVID-19 tests, the First Lady will later depart South Carolina for Delaware,” her communications director, Elizabeth Alexander, said in a statement.
Jill Biden had tested positive while vacationing in South Carolina, where she was staying in a private home.
President Biden, who turns 80 in November, has recently recovered from two separate bouts of the coronavirus.
He first tested positive on July 21 and continued to carry out his duties while isolating in the White House.
After four days of negative testing, he tested positive again on July 30 and was isolated a second time before coming out on August 7 after a full recovery.
