First lady Jill Biden tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday in a "rebound" case, her office said.

Jill Biden, who is double vaccinated and twice boosted, was prescribed the antiviral treatment Paxlovid, which President Biden also took after testing positive last month. Like his wife, the president also suffered a rebound COVID-19 case.

The first lady -- who first tested positive on Aug. 16 -- received her second negative test on Sunday and joined the president in Delaware, coming out of her isolation period spent in South Carolina. She again tested negative on Tuesday, her deputy communications director Kelsey Donohue said.

"The First Lady has experienced no reemergence of symptoms, and will remain in Delaware where she has reinitiated isolation procedures," Donohue said in a statement on Wednesday. "The White House Medical Unit has conducted contact tracing and close contacts have been notified."
