Ahead of the November United States (US) presidential poll, President Donald Trump has admitted testing positive for Covid-19 with his wife, Melania and would quarantine inside the White House during his recovery, cancelling upcoming appearances on the campaign trail. Trump made the disclosure on Friday.
According to Agency Reports, the White House doctor said both Trump and First Lady Melania — who also tested positive — were well and that Trump would continue his presidential “duties without disruption”.
The two were tested after a close White House aide Hope Hicks had tested positive earlier in the day.
Hicks was on board Air Force One with the president as he traveled to Cleveland, Ohio for the first presidential debate with his rival, Democrat Joe Biden, on Tuesday.
