WASHINGTON -- President Joe Biden likely contracted a highly contagious variant of the coronavirus spreading rapidly through the United States, and now has body aches and a sore throat since his positive test, according to an update from his doctor on Saturday.
Dr. Kevin O'Connor, the president's physician, wrote in his latest update on Biden's condition that Biden's earlier symptoms, including a runny nose and a cough, have become"less troublesome." O'Connor's earlier notes did not mention the sore throat or body aches. O'Connor said the results of the preliminary sequencing that indicated the BA.5 variant do not affect Biden's treatment plan"in any way."
