Biden tests positive for COVID-19 despite not wearing a mask, CDC guidelines allow exemption


President Joe Biden did not wear a face mask in public after testing positive for COVID-19, despite CDC guidance recommending mask use for symptomatic individuals. The White House announced that Biden was experiencing mild symptoms and would self-isolate in accordance with CDC guidelines. Biden’s physician confirmed he had mild upper respiratory symptoms and was being treated with Paxlovid.

The CDC advises people recovering from COVID-19 to wear masks as an additional strategy to reduce transmission, but does not mandate their use. They recommend staying home and away from others until symptoms improve and there is no fever. The White House did not respond to questions about why Biden chose not to wear a mask.

Despite his illness, Biden was reported to be feeling fine and continuing to work. His vital signs remained normal and he was being kept up to speed on national security matters by his leadership team. Overall, Biden was said to be doing well, with mild symptoms, and receiving treatment for COVID-19.
