President Donald Trump announced in an early Friday morning tweet that both he and First Lady Melania Trump have tested positive for the coronavirus. The news came after Hope Hicks, a top aide to the president who recently traveled with him and others in his administration, tested positive on Thursday.

The president has been traveling to campaign events and rallies, as well as the first presidential debate on Tuesday, putting him in close and consistent contact with other politicians and administration officials.

Politicians, Trump officials, aides, family members, rivals for president and Supreme Court Justice nominees have been tested for Covid-19 since the announcement that the president had the infection.
