The doctor said that Trump and Melania will be quarantined at the White House residence.
US President Donald Trump announced on Twitter early Friday (October 2) that he and his first lady, Melania Trump, have been tested and confirmed to be infected with the novel COVID-19 coronavirus and are under quarantine. .
Trump was examined after his staff, 31-year-old Hope Hicks, was diagnosed. Hicks recently followed Trump to Ohio on the “Air Force One” special plane to attend the first televised debate in the 2020 presidential election. He then went to Minnesota to attend a campaign rally. There he developed symptoms and was quarantined.
Trump is 74 years old and is a high-risk group identified by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The White House doctor said that the Trumps are in good condition and that the president himself will continue to perform his duties.
Few people in the White House reportedly wear masks regularly. At many Trump campaign rallies, organizers were also found to have failed to implement social distancing and other epidemic prevention measures.
Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for COVID-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through it TOGETHER!
– Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 2, 2020

The second presidential debate will take place in Miami, Florida, on October 15. How Trump’s diagnosis will affect this debate is currently unknown.

Why are the 2020 US elections so unusual?
How COVID-19 affects our body
Observation: “The development of the earthquake of the earth”
Anthony Zurcher, BBC North America Correspondent
Just a week ago, Trump told the American people not to worry about COVID-19, because it “affects almost no one” except the elderly and patients with heart disease. Now the president himself has tested positive for the virus.
There are only 32 days left until the US elections. It is difficult to say that this is a shaken event.
The president must be treated in isolation, campaign activities must stop, and the next presidential election debate in two weeks will become a question mark.
The president has repeatedly asserted that the United States has “turned the corner” to respond to the epidemic. Now that he is sick himself, the power of this sentence has been weakened.
Just two days ago, in the first election debate, Trump mocked and belittled Democratic opponent Joe Biden, who often wears masks. He also denigrated that the opponent did not dare to make the campaign rally as great as him.
Now the White House and the campaign team have to answer why the president will adopt an almost arrogant attitude on the issue of protecting himself and how many people in the White House and the US high government are at risk of infection.
In the current national crisis, the American people are used to supporting the president, but this is probably not enough to insulate him from further questioning.
