President Trump announced in a tweet early Friday morning that he and his wife Melania have both tested positive for Covid-19.
“We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately,” he wrote.
“We will get through this TOGETHER!” The news came just hours after it was announced that Hope Hicks, a close adviser to Trump who travelled with him aboard Air Force One several times this week, had tested positive.
The president’s physician, Sean P. Conley, wrote later that Trump and his wife “are both well at this time, and they plan to remain at home within the White House during their convalescence.”
