Anthony Fauci, the chief medical adviser to President Joe Biden who has been at the forefront of the US pandemic response, tested positive for Covid-19.
Fauci, who’s fully vaccinated and has been boosted twice, is experiencing mild symptoms and will continue to work from home, according to a statement Wednesday from the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, where he’s director. More than two years into the pandemic, it’s the first time the 81-year-old has tested positive for the virus, the agency said.
