Trump declares himself immune to Covid-19 and prepares to return to the campaign
US President Donald Trump said on Sunday that he had made a full recovery from Covid-19 and was not a risk of infection for others, freeing him up to once again hold large campaign rallies during the last weeks of the race for the White House.
Trump also said, without presenting evidence, that he was now immune, a claim that attracted a Twitter flag for violating the social media platform’s rules on misleading information related to Covid-19.
Trump’s comments came a day after his doctor said the president had run a test that showed he was no longer infectious. It did not directly say whether Trump had tested negative for Covid-19.
“I passed the highest test, the highest standards and I am in great shape,” Trump told the Fox News Sunday Morning Futures program.
