Biden’s doctor: President’s Covid symptoms ‘have improved’

BBC News:-

US President Joe Biden’s condition has improved since he first tested positive for Covid-19, the White House has said.

The 79-year-old is experiencing mild symptoms, including a runny nose and fatigue. His doctor says he is responding well to medication.

Mr Biden has continued working while in isolation, according to the White House, and on Thursday tweeted that he was “doing great”.

The president is expected to resume normal duties once he tests negative.

An update released on Friday by the president’s physician, Dr Kevin O’Connor, noted Mr Biden had a slight fever on Thursday evening that responded well to Tylenol.

The president still has an occasional cough, and his pulse, blood pressure and oxygen saturation levels remain “entirely normal”, Dr O’Connor added.
