Biden tests negative in 'rebound' case

US President Joe Biden tested negative for COVID-19 on Saturday in the process of his recovery from a "rebound" case, wrote White House physician Kevin O'Connor in an update. Biden feels "very well", but will continue to isolate pending a second negative test result, O'Connor said. Fully vaccinated and twice boosted, Biden first tested positive for COVID-19 on July 21, leading to days of isolation and treatment at the White House before receiving negative test results. He tested positive again on July 30 in a "rebound" case and had a mild cough, but did not resume treatment.
