Former US President Barack Obama’s positive test for Covid
Washington: Barack Obama has been tested positive for Covid-19 light cases, former US president said on his Twitter account on Sunday.
“I had a sore throat for a few days, but I felt fine,” Obama tweeted, added that his wife, former Michelle Obama, so far a negative tested.
“Michelle and I thank you for being vaccinated and driven,” he wrote.
Obama, plus fellow former President Jimmy Carter, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton – and the first former woman – appeared together in a minute video released last March, supporting the US vaccination campaign and sharing what they missed the life of a pandemic.
“This vaccine means hope,” Obama said in the video. “This will protect you and the people you love from this dangerous and deadly disease.”
In August, Obama increased the 60th birthday celebration due to the distribution of Delta variants from Coronavirus.
Conservative political opponents have attacked in the former president because they plan to host the outside parties – where the participants must be vaccinated – which have been expected to attract hundreds of guests after Democrats criticized Donald Trump’s administration to arrange several masks without masks in the White House.
Obama reaffirmed his support for the vaccine in the Tweet Sunday, said his own positive test was “reminders to vaccinate if you haven’t done it, even when the kasing goes down.”
Despite the anti-vaccination constituency vocal vocal in this country, the Center for Control and Prevention of US Disease (CDC) said more than 80 percent of all people aged five and older in the United States have at least one dose of Covid-19 vaccine.
The US daily count has fallen sharply, according to (CDC), with an average of around 35,000 cases per day in mid-March compared to the average peak of 810,000 cases per day in mid.
