Former President Barack Obama tests positive for COVID-19
Indiana – On Sunday Former President Barack Obama announced that he had tested positive for the coronavirus, though he’s feeling relatively healthy and his wife, Michelle, tested negative.
“I’ve had a scratchy throat for a couple of days, but am feeling fine otherwise,” Obama said on Twitter. “Michelle and I are grateful to be vaccinated and boosted.”
Former President encouraged more Americans to get vaccinated against the coronavirus, despite the declining infection rate in the U.S. There were roughly 35,000 infections on average over the past week, down sharply from mid-January when that average was closer to 800,000.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 75.2% of U.S. adults are fully vaccinated and 47.7% of the fully vaccinated have received a booster shot.
In late February the CDC relaxed its guidelines for indoor masking, taking a more holistic approach that meant the vast majority of Americans live in areas without the recommendation for indoor masking in public.
