The 44th president of the United States announced Sunday his own diagnosis on Twitter.

"I’ve had a scratchy throat for a couple days, but am feeling fine otherwise. Michelle and I are grateful to be vaccinated and boosted," Obama said.

A few days prior to testing positive for the disease, O'Brien was in New York City at a screening of the new crime drama co-starring Zoey Deutch.

The pair stood in close quarters, without masks, as they posed for photos together.

“The Outfit” follows Leonard (Mark Rylance), an expert English tailor who used to craft suits on London’s world-famous Savile Row.

After a personal tragedy, he wound up in Chicago, operating a small tailor shop in a rough part of town where he makes beautiful clothes for only the people around who can afford them, a family of vicious gangsters.

It also stars Johnny Flynn, Simon Russell Beale, Nikki Amuka-Bird, and others.

Focus Features has pre-bought the world rights from FilmNation Entertainment to the feature directorial debut of Moore, who earned an Oscar for best-adapted screenplay for “The Imitation Game”.

It also marks the feature screenwriting debut for McClain, who wrote the Disney Channel series “Liv and Maddie: Cali Style”.
