Former US President Barack Obama announced Sunday March 13, that he has tested positive for Covid-19.
Obama revealed that while he’s down with mild symptoms, his wife, Michelle tested negative for the disease.
He tweeted;
“I just tested positive for COVID. I’ve had a scratchy throat for a couple days, but am feeling fine otherwise. Michelle and I are grateful to be vaccinated and boosted, and she has tested negative. It’s a reminder to get vaccinated if you haven’t already, even as cases go down.”
The diagnosis makes Obama the second US President known to contract the virus after then-President Donald Trump announced he tested positive in October 2020, which was before vaccines were widely available in the US.
