How Donald and Melania Trump Got Infected with COVID-19
The American leader and his wife were tested after Hope Hicks (31 years old), one of Donald Trump’s closest collaborators, tested positive for coronavirus.
He was part of the group of advisers who traveled with the president aboard Air Force One on Tuesday to the election debate he held Wednesday with Joe Biden in Cleveland, Ohio. Hicks also went with Trump to Minnesota for a campaign rally the same day.
On Thursday, Trump said of his collaborator that he “tested positive.” “As you know, I spend a lot of time with Hope, as the First Lady,” she told Fox News. The US president also said that he did his test and that he was waiting for the result, and until then he was in isolation with the First Lady.
The American president is regularly tested for COVID-19, even if its exact frequency is unknown, as he is in the risk group for the disease. Employees working in the west wing are screened daily, as are White House-accredited journalists, or they travel with the president.
A week ago, Trump told Americans not to worry, because COVID-19 “affects virtually no one” except the elderly and those with heart disease. In fact, during Wednesday’s debate with Joe Biden, the American leader criticized his opponent because he wears a mask very often and does not have campaign events as big as his own.
