Trump’s coronavirus diagnosis came after a busy week running his administration and campaigning ahead of the 3 November election, a time in which he has interacted with many high-level officials. The president announced positive test results for himself and his wife, Melania, in a tweet on Friday, at around 01:00 local time (05:00 GMT). This followed a positive diagnosis for his close aide, Hope Hicks, who reportedly started feeling symptoms on Wednesday and tested positive the next day.
