The health advisor to the Commission on Presidential Debates said Friday that they believe there was “low risk of exposure” to COVID-19 for guests at Tuesday’s debate, after President Trump and first lady Melania Trump tested positive for the novel coronavirus.
The clinic, in a statement Friday, said the requirements aligned with CDC guidelines “including temperature checks, hand sanitizing, social distancing and masking.”
“Most importantly, everyone permitted inside the debate hall tested negative for COVID-19 prior to entry,” the clinic said. “Individuals traveling with both candidates, including the candidates themselves, had been tested and tested negative by their respective campaigns.” “Based on what we know about the virus and the safety measures we had in place, we believe there is low risk of exposure to our guests,” the clinic said, adding, “Out of an abundance of caution we are reaching out to our guests to address any questions and concerns, as well as offering testing.
When asked by Fox News if the campaigns provided the Cleveland Clinic any proof that campaign staff and candidates were tested and tested negative, they declined to comment. The statement came after Trump and the first lady tested positive for the virus early Friday. The White House, on Friday, said both the president and first lady are experiencing “mild symptoms,” but remain in “good spirits.”
