Post-covid Biden ‘feeling great’

PRESIDENT Joe Biden said he was “feeling great” last night as he recovers from Covid-19 and that he expected to end his isolation and return to normal working conditions by the end of the week.

Mr Biden held a virtual event with semiconductor manufacturers and several top administration officials to promote legislation aimed at boosting chip production in the US. His voice was raspy but he seemed in good health.

“I’m feeling great. I’ve had two full nights of sleep,” said Mr Biden, who tested positive for coronavirus on Thursday. With the first lady out of town, the president said his dog nuzzled him in the chest on Monday morning and woke him up. “I’m feeling good. My voice is still raspy,” he told reporters.

He said he hoped to be back at work in-person at the end of this week but was working a full schedule from the White House residence from about 9.30am to 6.30pm.
