The doctor of Biden, who fell ill with COVID-19, spoke about his condition Joe Biden

US President Joe Biden has mild symptoms after contracting the coronavirus: a runny nose, fatigue, and an occasional dry cough, his attending physician, Kevin O'Connor, said in a letter to the White House. These symptoms appeared in the head of state the night before.

O'Connor confirmed that he had given Biden Paxlovid (nirmatrelvir). The drug was approved by WHO in April as "the best therapeutic agent to date."

“The President is fully vaccinated and received a booster dose of the vaccine twice, so I expect the treatment to give favorable results, as it does for all maximally protected patients. And the early start of using Paxlovid provides additional protection against the severe course of the disease, ”the doctor wrote.

The fact that 79-year-old Biden contracted the coronavirus, the White House announced earlier on Thursday, July 21. The administration said that he would participate in all planned activities remotely until his test came back negative. US First Lady Jill Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were also tested, both of which came back negative.
