Hours after White House aide Hope Hicks reportedly tested positive for COVID-19<\/a>, President Donald Trump told the public that both he and First Lady Melania Trump had also tested positive for the virus, as determined by a test administered on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\"Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for COVID-19,\" Trump stated on his Twitter account<\/a> on early Friday morning. \"We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately.\" This was followed by White House physician Sean Conley saying he'd \"received confirmation\" of that news, adding<\/a> that the couple \"plan[s] to remain at home within the White House during their convalescence.\" As of press time, no further details have been disclosed about either the president or first lady's physical condition.<\/p>\n

Reports about Hicks' contraction of the virus mention a timeline of her exhibiting mild symptoms on Wednesday<\/a> while traveling with Trump, followed by a reportedly positive test result<\/a> Wednesday evening. Later on Thursday, after Trump had already traveled to a fundraiser at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, he described Hicks' test results<\/a>. Hours later, he disclosed his own test result.<\/p><\/div>
