symptoms 'continue to improve'

President Joe Biden likely caught the contagious Omicron BA.5 COVID variant, according to White House doctor Kevin O'Connor.

"The president's causative agent is most likely the BA5 variant," the president's physician said in a memo released Saturday. "This is the SARS-CoV-2 variant which is responsible for 75-80% of infections in the United States at this time. This data does not affect the treatment plan in any way."

O'Connor said Biden is experiencing symptoms like a sore throat and a cough but they "continue to improve."

"His pulse, blood pressure, respiratory rate and temperature remain entirely normal," the memo reads. "His oxygen saturation continues to be excellent on room air. His lungs remain clear."
