WASHINGTON, DC (WTAQ-Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday he and first lady Melania would go into quarantine as they await test results after an aide had tested positive for the new coronavirus.
“Hope Hicks, who has been working so hard without even taking a small break, has just tested positive for Covid-19,” Trump said on Twitter.
“Terrible! The First Lady and I are waiting for our test results. In the meantime, we will begin our quarantine process!”
President Trump was scheduled to make a swing through Wisconsin this Saturday, including an evening stop at Green Bay Austin Straubel Airport. The Trump campaign has yet to make a formal announcement on the status of the event.
