President Joe Biden's health condition continues to improve after he tested positive for COVID last week.

This was confirmed by a letter penned by Dr. Kevin O'Connor from George Washington University School of Medicine & Health Services regarding the medication the president is taking. The letter was then released by the White House on Sunday, per New York Post.

"President Biden completed his third full day of PAXLOVID last night. His symptoms continue to improve significantly," O'Connor, Biden's physician, said in the letter.

The physician also pointed out that Biden's predominant symptom as of Sunday is a sore throat due to the activation of his lymph nodes. O'Connor also noted the president's rhinorrhea, cough, and body aches, have lessened "considerably."

The doctor also shared that Biden's vitals are normal and his lungs are clear. However, the president will continue with his medication.

O'Connor noted that Biden's symptoms will continue to be treated with oral hydration, acetaminophen, and albuterol inhaler needed for his occasional cough.

Joe Biden's Close Contact Tested Negative for COVID - White House Coordinator

On Sunday, White House COVID-19 coordination czar Dr. Ashish Jha announced that the 17 people who were in close contact with President Joe Biden did not contract the said virus.

"Again, 17 is the number that we are tracking at the White House medical unit. None of them have tested positive as of late yesterday," Dr. Jha said on ABC's "This Week."

Jha added that all of the 17 people were contacted and are being monitored. He added that the said people are following the guidance of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

It can be recalled that Vice President Kamala Harris was among their close contact with Biden before he tested positive for the disease.

Harris' press secretary, Kirsten Allen, said last Thursday that the vice president was with Biden last Tuesday. Despite that, Harris tested negative for COVID, and she remained masked following the advice of the White House medical team.

First Lady Jill Biden also tested negative for COVID-19.

Joe Biden COVID

President Joe Biden tested positive for COVID on Thursday. Reports claimed that he experienced "mild symptoms" last week.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said last week that Biden will continue his duties as president and hold meetings through Zoom and his phone from his residence. Jean-Pierre emphasized that Biden will continue to work while isolating until he tests negative for the disease.

In a video, Biden gave an update last week, claiming that he is doing well and getting a lot of work done even though he got COVID.

He also emphasized in the video that he is double vaccinated and double boosted for the said disease.
