First lady Jill Biden tests negative for COVID after recovering at her Delaware beach house

First lady Jill Biden tested negative for COVID on Thursday, after her previous positive result cast doubt on President Biden’s travel plans this week.

The East Wing announced this on Thursday. The first lady, 72, had tested positive on Monday, after a weekend in which she and her husband visited victims of the storm in Florida, then flew to Philadelphia for a Labor Day event with union workers on Monday.

She experienced “only mild symptoms,” the White House said when it first announced she tested positive for COVID, amid a nationwide flurry of infections.

The president boarded Air Force One on Thursday en route to India for the G20 summit. According to the White House, he received negative test results on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

He plans to meet with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday night after arriving in New Delhi.

With a negative result in her pocket, the first lady will attend the White House next week with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to present an art award.

The White House said Clinton will appear on Tuesday to honor the 2023 winners of the Praemium Imperiale, a global award given annually by the Japan Art Association for lifetime achievement.

The Praemium Imperiale laureates were first celebrated at the White House by President Bill Clinton and the then First Lady in 1994.
