US President Joe Biden who is suffering from COVID-19 is likely infected by highly contagious Omicron subvariant BA.5. “Our preliminary sequencing results have returned.

The President’s causative agent is most likely the BA5 variant. This is the SARS-CoV-2 variant which is responsible for 75-80 per cent of infections in the United States at this time,” said President Biden’s physician Dr Kevin O’Connor in a memo.
