DONALD TRUMP HAS tested negative for Covid-19, his White House doctor said, 10 days after the US president announced that he had contracted the virus.
In a memo released tonight by the White House, Dr. Sean Conley said that Trump has “tested negative, on consecutive days, using the Abbott BinaxNow antigen card.”
The doctor said that the negative determination had taken into account a series of measurements, and not just the rapid test, and that “the president is not contagious to others.”
This comes after Trump declared over the weekend that he is healthy enough to return to the campaign trial and claimed that he is now “immune” to the virus.
Triumph plans to hold an outdoor campaign rally tonight at the Sanford, Florida airport.
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, quarantined since testing positive for coronavirus, said rally attendees would be encouraged to wear masks and hand sanitizer would be made available.
“Ultimately, you have the right in this country to come forward and express your political point of view,” McEnany said on FOX & Friends.
