Fauci tests positive for COVID-19


Anthony Fauci, the government's top infectious diseases expert, tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday but is experiencing "mild symptoms," the National Institutes of Health said.

"He is fully vaccinated and has been boosted twice," the agency said. "He is currently experiencing mild symptoms. Dr. Fauci will isolate and continue to work from his home. He has not recently been in close contact with President Biden or other senior government officials."

Fauci has been the face of the government's response to COVID-19 for more than two years and has previously avoided testing positive for the virus. But he is the latest in a long string of high-profile cases among lawmakers and government officials in Washington, D.C.

Biden is so far one of the few top government officials who has avoided getting it, though the White House acknowledges he could.
