Jill Biden tests negative for Covid and will end isolation in South Carolina

First lady will travel to Delaware to rejoin the president after getting negative results from two consecutive tests

First lady Jill Biden has tested negative for Covid-19 and will leave South Carolina - where she had isolated since vacationing with Joe Biden - and rejoin the president at their Delaware beach home, her office said Sunday.

The White House announced on Tuesday that the first lady, 71, who like her husband has been twice-vaccinated and twice-boosted with the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine, had tested positive for the coronavirus. She first had symptoms on Monday.
