The first lady was experiencing “mild symptoms,” according to her spokeswoman.
First lady Jill Biden tested positive for Covid-19 Monday evening and is “currently experiencing only mild symptoms,” according to the White House.
The first lady, 72, will remain at her home in Rehoboth Beach, Del., her communications director Elizabeth Alexander said in a statement. She has been vaccinated and received boosters.
This is the first lady’s second Covid diagnosis. She first tested positive in August 2022, shortly after President Joe Biden tested positive for the virus.
The president, who tested negative for the virus Monday night, took a solo trip back to D.C. from the couple’s Delaware home. The couple had been staying in their vacation house over the weekend after visiting Florida together Saturday to tour some of the damage left in the wake of Hurricane Idalia.
