Washington:
Hope Hicks, one of President Donald Trump’s top advisers, has tested positive for the coronavirus and is experiencing symptoms, a source familiar with the matter said Thursday.
Hicks regularly travels with the president on Air Force One and accompanied him to Cleveland for the presidential debate earlier this week along with other high-level aides.
The White House said in a statement that Trump “takes the health and safety of himself and all who work to support him and the American people very seriously” and that he followed guidelines to limit exposure to COVID. -19 as much as possible.
Bloomberg News first reported that Hicks had tested positive for the virus.
Hicks returned to the White House earlier this year after a stint in the private sector. She previously served as the White House communications director and as a spokesperson for Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.
