President Joe Biden has tested positive for COVID-19, sending him back into isolation just three days after he was cleared to resume his duties. 

In a memo, Biden's physician, Dr. Kevin O'Connor, said the president is experiencing no new symptoms and 'continues to feel quite well.' 

O'Connor had warned of the possibility of a testing 'rebound,' which can occur on a small percentage of patients who, like Biden, used the antiviral medication Paxlovid as part of their treatment against COVID. 

On Saturday afternoon, Bident tweeted: 'Folks, today I tested positive for COVID again. This happens with a small minority of folks.

'I've got no symptoms but I am going to isolate for the safety of everyone around me.

'I'm still at work, and will be back on the road soon.'

A memo from Biden's doctor confirmed the positive test on Saturday

Biden had tested negative for COVID on Tuesday following five days of isolation.  

This is a developing story.
