U.S. President Joe Biden returned to Delaware after testing positive for COVID-19 while visiting Las Vegas on Wednesday (July 17) and is self-isolating after experiencing mild symptoms, according to the White House
Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre announced the positive test for the 81-year-old Democrat after Biden canceled a speech due to the diagnosis. "He is vaccinated and boosted and experiencing mild symptoms,'' Jean-Pierre said.
As he boarded Air Force One to depart Las Vegas to recuperate in Delaware, Biden told reporters: "Good, I feel good." But he climbed the stairs slowly, holding the railing tightly and pausing a few steps in and again towards the top.
