The announcement that Barron Trump, 14, is infected and asymptomatic was made by Melania Trump, reports the Associated Press (AP).
The White House initially said the Trump couple’s youngest son had tested negative for the presence of SARS-CoV-2, after being tested earlier this month when the parents announced they were infected.
However, subsequent tests confirmed that Barron Trump contracted COVID-19.
Last Saturday, the doctor to the US head of state, Sean Conley, said that President Trump was no longer in danger of infecting others.
“Tonight [sábado], I am pleased to announce that, in addition to the President meeting all the criteria for the safe end of isolation, in light of currently recognized standards, he is no longer in danger of transmitting [o vírus] to other people, “Conley said.
Trump’s doctor referred to the criteria of the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), the main federal agency in the United States in the field of public health.
According to the same statement by Conley, new tests showed that Trump “no longer has the active replication rate of the virus” and that the viral load is “decreasing.”
The president no longer has a fever and his symptoms have improved, added the White House doctor, noting that Trump would continue to accompany him on his return to a normal rhythm of activity.
Hospitalized for three days, Donald Trump returned to the November 3 presidential election campaign on Saturday with a speech at the White House, delivered to several hundred supporters.
The covid-19 pandemic has already caused more than one million eighty-seven thousand deaths and more than 38.2 million cases of contagion worldwide, according to a report prepared by the French agency AFP.
The United States is the country with the most deaths (215,914) and also with the most confirmed cases of infection (more than 7.8 million).
