Biden had also been scheduled to visit his home in Wilmington, Delaware, on Sunday morning, where First Lady Jill Biden has been staying while the president was positive. Both trips have been canceled as Biden has returned to isolation.<\/p>\n<p>Biden, 79, was treated with the anti-viral drug Paxlovid and tested negative for the virus on Tuesday and Wednesday. He was then cleared to leave isolation while wearing a mask indoors. His positive test put him among the minority of those prescribed the drug to experience a rebound case of the virus.<\/p>\n<p>While Biden was testing negative, he returned to holding in-person indoor events and meetings with staff at the White House and was wearing a mask, in accordance with CDC guidelines. But the president removed his mask indoors when delivering remarks on Thursday and during a meeting with CEOs in the White House complex.<\/p>\n<p>Asked why Biden appeared to be breaching CDC protocols, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said: \u201cThey were socially distanced. They were far enough apart. So we made it safe for them to be together, to be on that stage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> Read the full letter from the White House physician: <\/p>\n<p><em>The Associated Press contributed to the<\/p>\n<p><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden tested positive for COVID-19 again on Saturday morning, the president\u2019s physician said.
