First Lady Jill Biden has tested positive for COVID-19 once again in a rebound case, the White House announced Wednesday.

The First Lady had tested negative for two consecutive days on Tuesday, but tested positive once again on Wednesday. Biden’s rebound case comes weeks after President Joe Biden himself had the same turn of events.

“After testing negative on Tuesday, just now, the First Lady has tested positive for COVID-19 by antigen testing. This represents a ‘rebound’ positivity,” the White House said in an emailed statement.
