Biden's COVID symptoms 'continue to improve significantly' after completing 3 days of taking Paxlovid, per a letter from the White House physician.
Biden's primary symptom now remains a sore throat, while his runny nose, body aches and cough have "diminished considerably," Kevin O'Connor, Biden's physician, wrote in the letter.
"His pulse, blood pressure, respiratory rate and temperature all remain normal. His oxygen saturation continues to be excellent on room air. His lungs remain clear," O'Conner wrote, adding that the president has had no shortness of breath "at all."
