His infection with the disease could prove destabilizing in an already fraught political climate, and stock market futures tumbled on news of Trump's infection.
Trump was last seen in public on Thursday afternoon returning to the White House after a fundraising trip to New Jersey.

A source close to Hicks told CNN that she is experiencing symptoms and is back in Washington.
