Notably, hospitalizations and cases of COVID-19 have increased in the United States during the past few weeks.
According to reports, the US has experienced a sharp increase in the new COVID-19 version EG.5. The new variety is a spinoff of the Omicron family's XBB recombinant strain.
Jill Biden, the first lady of the United States, tested positive for a COVID-19 rebound case in August of last year.
Additionally, this week the US President is scheduled to visit India to attend the G20 Summit in New Delhi. The White House has confirmed that he will have a bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on September 8 on the sidelines of the summit.
According to a statement from the White House earlier this week, Biden will commend PM Modi for his leadership of the G20 during its summit on September 9 and 10 in the nation's capital.
White House said in its week-ahead schedule of the President released on September 7, "The President will travel to New Delhi, India to attend the G20 Leaders’ Summit. On Friday, the President will participate in a bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi."
