Washington — President Biden's symptoms from COVID have improved "meaningfully" in the last day, though he still has a cough, the president's physician said Friday.
Mr. Biden had a fourth dose of Paxlovid on Friday morning and his "loose, nonproductive cough and hoarseness continue to be his primary symptoms, but they have improved meaningfully from yesterday," Dr. Kevin O'Connor said in a letter distributed by the White House.
The physician said Mr. Biden "continues to tolerate treatment well" and will continue taking Paxlovid.
Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear banned the use of "conversion therapy" on minors in Kentucky on Wednesday, calling his executive order an overdue step to protect children from a widely discredited practice that tries to change a person's sexual orientation or gender identity through counseling. Over 20 other states that have passed laws prohibiting the controversial treatment.
