(Las Vegas) US President Joe Biden, campaigning in Nevada for the November election, has tested positive for COVID-19, the White House announced in a statement on Wednesday, specifying that he had “mild symptoms”.
The 81-year-old president, who is “fully vaccinated,” will observe a period of isolation in his stronghold of Delaware, the White House said, at a time when doubts about the leader’s physical and mental abilities to campaign are resurfacing after calls from Democrats for him to step down.
