Jill Biden's Covid-19 Battle Disrupts White House's New Normal
First Lady Jill Biden's positive Covid-19 test does not signal a return to pandemic-era protocols at the White House, reflecting the receding threat of the virus since the early days of the administration. Despite an increase in cases and positive tests, overall incidents remain significantly lower than last summer. President Joe Biden's focus on combating the virus and returning to normalcy has been a key accomplishment, although the path out of the pandemic has had its challenges. While Covid-19 remains a challenge, it represents a different challenge than before, and the White House believes it is better equipped to handle it. The president and first lady will receive the new Covid booster when available.
