As of Monday, none of Biden’s 17 close contacts had tested positive for the coronavirus; according to Dr. Ashish Jha, the White House’s COVID-19 response coordinator.

According to early sequencing data, the BA.5 Omicron variation; is most likely what caused Biden’s COVID-19 infection.

Despite recommendations from some American public health experts that Biden should take more time off; he has continued to work. Biden commented on the results of the most recent hearings held by the House select committee; looking into the riot that broke out on January 6, 2021; in remarks he made on Monday at a conference taking place in Florida.

Over the last six months, a long number of Biden administration officials and US senators; have developed COVID-19.

Senators Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska both tweeted on Monday; that they had caught the disease.

According to the most recent COVID-19 data tracker weekly assessment from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; COVID-19 cases, fatalities, and hospitalizations are increasing in the United States; and the BA.5 subvariant is presently the most prevalent variant in the nation.

According to the most recent data from Johns Hopkins University; the cumulative number of COVID-19 cases in the United States has surpassed 90 million; with over 1 million linked fatalities.

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases’ Anthony Fauci stated on Monday; that “high quality” and “properly fitting” masks were successful in avoiding the spread and acquisition of COVID-19.

According to Fauci, who serves as Vice President Biden’s main medical advisor; the country is presently in “BA.5 mode.”

“There’s always a chance that another version may evolve, and hopefully if that does; it will diverge from the BA.5 just slightly in the sense that it will be a sub-sub-lineage; of it rather than something altogether distinct,” he added.
