President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump test positive for Covid-19

President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump have tested positive for COVID-19, the president tweeted early Friday morning.

US President Donald Trump says he and first lady Melania Trump are beginning a “quarantine process” after testing positive for Covid-19.

Trump tweeted early Friday: “Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for Covid-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER!”

The president’s physician said Trump was “well” and would continue to perform his duties “without disruption” while quarantining along with the first lady.

They “are both well at this time and they plan to remain home at the White House during their convalesence,” doctor Sean Conley said in a statement.
