Biden able to resume physical exercise: doctor

WASHINGTON - US President Joe Biden "feels well enough to resume his physical exercise regimen", his physician said on Tuesday.

Biden's symptoms of COVID-19 "have now almost completely resolved", according to the latest memo from White House physician Dr. Kevin O'Connor.

O'Connor added that Biden, who tested positive for COVID-19 last Thursday, will continue isolation on Tuesday.

Fully vaccinated and twice boosted, Biden has been taking Paxlovid, an antiviral therapy produced by Pfizer and given to patients with COVID-19.

Biden told reporters virtually on Monday that he's anticipating a return to in-person work by the end of the week.
