Barack Obama, the former president of the United States, has tested positive for COVID-19.
He announced it on his official Facebook page on Sunday.
Obama also stated that his wife, Michelle, is negative.
“I just tested positive for COVID. I’ve had a scratchy throat for a couple of days, but am feeling fine otherwise. Michelle and I are grateful to be vaccinated and boosted, and she has tested negative. It’s a good reminder that, even as cases go down, you should get vaccinated and boosted if you haven’t already to help prevent more serious symptoms and giving COVID to others, ” he stated.
Obama is now one of the world’s most powerful politicians who has contracted the virus.
Boris Johnson, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, and Donald Trump, the former President of the United States, both tested positive for COVID-19 before recovering.
