President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump tested positive for coronavirus, the President announced early Friday morning, an extraordinary development coming months into a global pandemic and in the final stretch of his reelection campaign, according to CNN.

This, too, from CSNBC:

Trump has come under withering criticism for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic in the United States, where more than 7.2 million have been infected and 200,007 people have died, according to a tally from Johns Hopkins University. He has routinely held campaign events where supporters were densely packed together, with many not wearing masks.

White House physician Sean Conley said in a memo, “The President and First Lady are both well at this time, and they plan to remain at home within the White House during their convalescence.”

CNN reported the President had said late Thursday night that he planned to quarantine after one of his closest aides tested positive for the infection.
