First lady Dr. Jill Biden has tested positive for Covid-19 and is experiencing mild symptoms, her spokesperson said Tuesday."After testing negative for Covid-19 on Monday during her regular testing cadence, the First Lady began to develop cold-like symptoms late in the evening.

She tested negative again on a rapid antigen test, but a PCR test came back positive," said Elizabeth Alexander, her communications director.
 The first lady, who is double vaccinated and twice boosted, is taking Paxlovid, Pfizer's antiviral drug, according to Alexander.

A person close to the first lady said Tuesday morning that Jill Biden is "feeling good" and has "common cold"-like symptoms.

The first lady is 71 years old, making her the oldest sitting first lady in modern American history. She exercises several times a week, taking classes at local gyms.
