President Trump, First Lady Melania Test Positive for Coronavirus

President Donald Trump said he and First Lady Melania Trump have tested positive for coronavirus, plunging the United States into further upheaval and uncertainty just over a month away from Election Day, CNBC reports.

In a tweet early Friday morning, Trump said: “We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER!”

"Trump is now the most prominent figure to come down with COVID-19. Previously, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro had tested positive for coronavirus and survived," reads the publication. 

Top Trump aide Hope Hicks tested positive shortly before Trump and the First Lady.
