United States President Joe Biden has contracted Covid-19 again, leading to his election campaign’s cancellation.
The aging politician is having mild symptoms and has started taking antiviral doses. In a statement, Biden said he was doing fine, giving a thumbs-up before boarding to his Delaware residence. Biden 81, will remain in isolation during this period.
Biden was supposed to visit the Las Vegas event, where he was set to address the UnidosUS annual conference, and was intended to showcase his direct engagement with a diverse coalition. The event was stopped when news broke of Biden’s positive Covid-19 test after a busy day of interviews and meeting voters at a local supermarket.
Reports said the source of Biden’s infection remains unclear, while people who accompanied him are undergoing testing. White House officials said President Biden will manage his schedule through video calls.
Cases of COVID-19 saw a surge of over 23pc in mid-July, as people are advised to remain cautious and follow SOPs in public places.
