Former President Barack Obama said on Sunday that he has tested positive with COVID-19 and that he is “well” save for a scratchy throat.
Obama, 60, and his wife, Michelle, are both completely vaccinated and boosted, according to the former president. Michelle Obama’s pregnancy test came back negative.
Obama’s diagnosis is a “reminder to be vaccinated if you haven’t already, even as instances decline,” he added.
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.
