President Donald Trump was taken by helicopter to Walter Reed Military Medical Center just now and will spend the “next few days” there, the White House said after Trump announced earlier in the day that he had tested positive for Covid19
First lady Melania Trump is displaying "only a mild cough and headache," Conley's memo states. The doctor also wrote that the rest of Trump's family tested negative Friday and that the pair are being advised by a team of experts about their next steps.
Trump's predecessor, Barack Obama, wished Trump and the first lady a speedy recovery during a virtual fundraiser for Biden. Conley did not say whether Trump was exhibiting any symptoms, but a person familiar with the situation said the president was asymptomatic as of Thursday. In a statement Friday afternoon, Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien announced that all previously scheduled campaign events involving the president "are in the process of being moved to virtual events or are being temporarily postponed."
Hicks showed symptoms and received her test result early Thursday, but few people in the White House knew about her diagnosis until later in the afternoon, according to the person familiar with the situation.traveling Tuesday on Air Force One without a mask, and she accompanied the president Wednesday to his rally in Minnesota.
"At the same time," Meadows said, "I fully expect that as this virus continues to go on, other people in the White House will certainly have a positive test result. And we've got the mitigation plan in place to make sure that the government not only continues to move forward, but the work of the American people continues to move forward."
As for Trump's positive test, "last night — even in the early hours of this morning — the minute we got a confirmatory test on the president, we felt like it was important to get the news out there at that time," Meadows said. Mulvaney cited the close proximity between the executive residence and the West Wing, and said that although Trump will "have limited contact" with people other than his physician, he will be "in constant communication with the rest of the team."
"We haven't gotten that far just yet. This morning and this afternoon, we're focused on the president," she said. Just how long the president will be confined to the executive residence is an open question. The White House has required other officials who tested positive for Covid-19 to go a week without symptoms and log two negative test results before returning to work.
Trump has faced similar rebukes for his cavalier attitude toward coronavirus precautions. His campaign rallies often feature large crowds of supporters tightly packed together and not wearing face coverings.
