President Joe Biden has tested negative for Covid-19 twice since Tuesday night and will end strict isolation measures he had been following since contracting the coronavirus last week, the White House physician said in a new letter.

That letter was made public as the White House announced that Biden would give remarks in the Rose Garden at 11:30 a.m. Wednesday. The announcement did not reveal what he would be speaking about.

Biden, 79, was diagnosed Thursday with Covid. The White House that day said Biden was experiencing “very mild symptoms.” Biden is fully vaccinated and has received two booster shots of the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid vaccine.
