Clinton is the latest of the Presidents’ Club to test positive for the virus. Earlier, President Joe Biden contracted Covid-19 this summer, and then-President Donald Trump tested positive in October 2020.
Former President Barack Obama also experienced a mild case earlier this year.
As per CNN report, Covid-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths have remained flat in the US in recent weeks, though the virus’ impact is not gone: on average, more than 300 Americans die and 3,400 people are hospitalized each day with Covid-19, according to data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
