US President Joe Biden has been ‘tolerating’ treatment well and is continuing with the presidential duties after getting infected with Covid-19, White House doctor said.
“The president continues to tolerate treatment well and will continue PAXLOVID (anti-Covid pill) as planned. He continues to perform all of his presidential duties,” Dr Kevin C O’Connor said.
The doctor also confirmed that Biden has received sixth dose of anti-Covid pill.
“President Biden completed his sixth dose of PAXLOVID this morning. He is still experiencing a loose, non-­productive cough and hoarseness, but his symptoms continue to improve steadily,” he said.
The doctor said that his pulse, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and temperature are all within normal limits. His oxygen saturation remains excellent while breathing room air, and his lungs continue to be clear.
Biden tested positive for Covid-19 while traveling in Las Vegas, the White House announced on Wednesday.
