President Joe Biden Tests Positive for COVID-19 Again, Halts Election Campaign
President Joe Biden has tested positive for COVID-19 again, causing the cancellation of his election campaign. Despite mild symptoms, the 81-year-old president has started taking antiviral medication. Biden reassured everyone that he was fine, giving a thumbs-up before heading to his Delaware home, where he would stay in isolation.
Biden had planned to attend the UnidosUS annual conference in Las Vegas to engage with a diverse coalition. However, the event was halted when news of his positive test emerged after a busy day of interviews and meetings at a local supermarket. The source of his infection is unknown, and those who were with him are being tested. White House officials said Biden will continue his duties via video calls.
COVID-19 cases surged by over 23% in mid-July, and people are advised to stay cautious and follow safety guidelines in public places.
