Jill Biden, the first lady, tested positive for Covid-19, the White House announced late Monday night, but she is experiencing only mild symptoms and will remain at the family home in Rehoboth Beach, Del., where she and President Biden spent part of the weekend.
Mr. Biden tested negative for the virus after the first lady’s diagnosis, a spokeswoman said.
The president returned to the White House on Monday evening.
Officials said Mr. Biden would continue to test on “a regular cadence” throughout the week and would monitor for possible signs of infection.
The first lady’s diagnosis is a reminder that Covid-19 remains a potent virus in the country.
