President Joe Biden's Covid symptoms "continue to improve significantly," according to the President's physician.
Biden tested positive for Covid-19 on Thursday morning, and completed his fourth full day of treatment with the antiviral drug Paxlovid.
Dr.Kevin O'Connor, the White House physician who treats Biden, said in a letter Sunday that his predominant symptom is only a sore throat.
"This is most likely a result of lymphoid activation as his body clears the virus, and is thus encouraging," O'Connor said. "His rhinorrhea, cough and body aches have diminished considerably. His voice remains a bit deep. His pulse, blood pressure, respiratory rate and temperature all remain normal. His oxygen saturation continues to be excellent on room air. His lungs remain clear." (Rhinorrhea is a runny nose.)
