(Washington) The hunt for Easter eggs in the White House is back for the first time since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.
Posted yesterday at 11:20 am
The Easter Coconut Race is also on the programme, as are the other activities.
President Joe Biden and his wife Jill welcomed nearly 30,000 children and adults under overcast skies on Monday.
The pandemic forced the White House to cancel the 2020 and 2021 editions. However, hunting and racing are back this year, at a time when the number of infections, hospitalizations and deaths are declining.

The event was first organized in 1878.
