President Donald Trump, first lady Melania Trump and Hope Hicks, a top aide to the president, have all tested positive for coronavirus following a packed week of governing and campaigning.
White House officials have said they are currently conducting contact tracing and have not released names of any additional confirmed positive cases.
It remains unknown when Hicks and the Trumps contracted the virus. Hicks reportedly first experienced symptoms Wednesday evening during Trump’s campaign rally in Duluth, Minnesota.
Trump conducted debate preparation with top aides and met with Judge Amy Coney Barrett at the White House on Monday and Tuesday, according to The New York Times. He shared the debate stage Tuesday evening with former Vice President Joe Biden. The pair did not wear masks during the televised event, but remained socially distant throughout the evening. Fox News’ Chris Wallace, who moderated the debate, and Dr. Jill Biden were also present in the room at one point in time. CNN reports that the Bidens are expected to be tested Friday.
