According to a memo from Dr. Kevin O'Connor, the president's doctor, Biden is reporting a runny nose, fatigue, and an occasional dry cough. 

Biden felt tired Wednesday evening and didn’t sleep well, White House COVID-19 coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha said at a press briefing. Biden tweeted Thursday: “Folks, I’m doing great. Thanks for your concern.”

Biden is routinely screened for coronavirus. His infection was detected first with an antigen test, the same type that many Americans use at home.

It was then confirmed with a PCR test, the president’s doctor said. The president’s last previous test for COVID-19 was Tuesday when he had a negative test result.

Biden will work in isolation for at least five days until he tests negative, the White House said. Once he tests negative, he will return to in-person work. The White House said it would provide a daily update on the president’s status.
