The President of the US, Donld Trump, and First Lady melaniaTrump have tested postive for the Coronavirus, the President confirmed a few moments ago.
President Trump and Melania were prompted to test after Hope Hicks, one of his closest advisers, tested positive for the disease. The President had been in quarantine since then.
This comes after mass criticism from the Democrats about the way Trump has guided Trump during this pandemic, where he has been criticized that the US president and his aides rarely wear masks despite health guidance that it can help curb the spread of the disease.
Hicks travels regularly with the president on Air Force One and, along with other senior aides, accompanied him to Cleveland for the first presidential debate with Democrat Joe Biden on Tuesday.
She was also with Trump at a campaign event in Minnesota on Wednesday and flew back to the White House with him on the Marine One helicopter after the rally.
