White House Says Biden’s Condition Has ‘Significantly Improved’ as No Photos of Him Released Over Weekend

President Joe Biden’s COVID-19 symptoms have “now almost completely resolved” four days after he tested positive for the virus, said White House physician Kevin O’Connor in a letter Monday.

“When questioned, at this point, he only notes some residual nasal congestion and minimal hoarseness,” the doctor’s letter said. “His pulse, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and temperature remain absolutely normal,” it said before adding that Biden’s “oxygen saturation continues to be excellent” and “lungs remain clear.”

The president, 79, will continue to take the Pfizer-made drug Paxlovid, which is generally used for five days after the onset of symptoms, O’Connor added. He previously said that Biden was using an albuterol inhaler as well.

Over the weekend, the physician had said that Biden’s cough and body aches had diminished and he was not facing any shortness of breath. He and other White House also have stressed multiple times that Biden has received COVID-19 vaccine shots, including two booster doses.

“As I’ve stated previously, the BA.5 variant is particularly transmissible and [Biden] will continue to isolate in accordance with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations,” O’Connor wrote.

The White House has sought to underscore Biden’s ability to work through his illness. On July 22, it released a video of him reassuring Americans he was doing fine, and on July 23 he participated in virtual meetings with White House staff.

But despite the health updates on Saturday and Sunday, no new images or video footage have been released of Biden since July 23. Biden tested positive the day before.
