President Trump and First Lady Melania Test Positive for the Coronavirus – WSJ

By Thomas A. Smith

WASHINGTON President Trump and first lady Melania Trump tested positive for Covid-19, injecting fresh uncertainty into an already tumultuous final stretch of the 2020 campaign.

His announcement, which he made on Twitter, came hours after the confirmation that Hope Hicks, a top adviser who traveled with him earlier this week, had tested positive for the virus.

We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately, Mr. Trump tweeted. We will get through this TOGETHER!

White House physician Sean Conley said in a memo early Friday that the president and first lady were both well at this time and planned to remain at the White House while they recovered. He said the medical team would maintain a vigilant watch.
