“The First Lady is double-vaccinated, twice boosted, and only experiencing mild symptoms,” her communications director said in a statement.
First lady Jill Biden on Tuesday tested positive for Covid-19, coming down with the virus roughly a week after the president ended isolation for his own rebound case.
Biden had tested negative for Covid on Monday during her regular testing cadence, her communications director Elizabeth Alexander announced in a statement Tuesday. But the first lady began developing cold-like systems later Monday evening, when she checked again and a PCR test returned positive results.
“The First Lady is double-vaccinated, twice boosted, and only experiencing mild symptoms,” Alexander said in the statement.

The first lady’s positive result comes on the heels of the Bidens’ family vacation to Kiawah Island, S.C., and as they were due to touch back down in Washington later Tuesday.
The first lady will stay in South Carolina to self-isolate for at least five days and will return home after she receives two consecutive negative tests, Alexander said. The president tested negative for Covid on Tuesday and will return to Washington per his schedule, a White House spokesperson said in a statement. The president is scheduled to sign the Inflation Reduction Act later Tuesday.
