On Tuesday, however, Biden's Covid czar Dr. Ashish Jha admitted that social distancing is "not the right way to think about" mitigating the spread of the virus, stating that different factors, like air quality, play a larger role than previously thought.
"There's a new way of thinking about who is gonna get infected," Jha began.

"We used to spend a lot of time talking about 'six feet of distance,' 'fifteen minutes of being together,' but we realize that's not the right way to think about this. That's not the most accurate way to think about this."
Jha continued to explain that when it comes to the COVID-19 virus, particularly the "very contagious sub-variants," is "really about the quality of air you're breathing around you."

"In a crowded indoor space with poor ventilation, you can get infected within minutes," Jha announced, continuing that "if you're outdoors, with ... good ventilation, you can be outside for long periods and not get infected."
"Context matters, crowds matter, ventilation matters," Jha concluded, noting that it marked a "major new update in the CDC guidance."

Meanwhile, First lady Jill Biden tested positive for COVID-19 and was experiencing "mild symptoms," the White House declared Tuesday. President Joe Biden continues to test negative after recently recovering from the virus, yet will wear a mask indoors for ten days as a precaution.
