The White House has announced that First Lady Jill Biden has tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

Although President Biden is a close contact, her test has been confirmed negative.

The White House in the United States announced on the 16th that First Lady Jill Biden has tested positive for the new coronavirus by PCR test.



Although symptoms like a cold appeared the night before, the symptoms are mild.



President Biden spent his summer vacation with Jill in Southern South Carolina, but the White House tested negative, so the president returned to Washington, D.C. as planned on the 16th.



However, since he is a close contact person, President Biden will wear a mask indoors for the next 10 days, increase the frequency of inspections, and announce the results.



President Biden himself was infected with the new virus last month and resumed face-to-face work after quarantine.
