The 81-year-old Fauci, who is fully vaccinated and has received two booster shots, was experiencing mild COVID-19 symptoms, according to a statement Wednesday from the National Institutes of Health.
Fauci has not recently been in close contact with President Joe Biden or other senior government officials. He tested positive on a rapid antigen test. He is following public health guidelines and his doctor’s advice, and will return to work at the NIH when he tests negative, according to the statement.
Fauci is Biden’s chief medical adviser and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. He was a leading member of the White House coronavirus task force under former President Donald Trump.
Earlier this week, U.S. Health Secretary Xavier Becerra tested positive for the virus. It was the second time Becerra had come down with symptoms and tested positive.

Hope he gets treated in the hospital like the first wave of covid got “treated”
“Fully Vaccinated”, yeah right
His whole neighborhood should also be in lockdown for 2 weeks until the 7 day average numbers drop – we are just following the science.
COVID has finally met its maker.
FOWCHEE , you little rascal. When will we be done with you already ?
I am sure we all wish him a speedy recovery.
Aren’t all the vaxes and the booster supposed to CURTAIL the virus? There used to be a time when the vaccination would do that…huh
