Biden tests positive for COVID-19 again in rare 'rebound' case: Monday, Aug. 1, 2022

Days after ending his COVID-19 isolation, President Joe Biden has tested positive for the virus again, his physician said Saturday.

His physician said Biden is one of a small percentage of Paxlovid patients who "rebound" and test positive again.

"This in fact represents 'rebound' positivity."
