President Trump revealed on Saturday that he has taken the coronavirus test and is awaiting the results.

Before briefing with the White House press corps, he revealed that he had his temperature taken and was fine. Members of the press corps have been taken precaution by getting their temperature take when close to the president.

 

“I also took the test,” Trump said in the White House briefing room. “I decided I should based on the press conference yesterday people were asking that I take the test.”

Trump has been in contact with individuals who have later tested positive with COVID-19, initiating questions on whether the president should be hand-shaking, quarantined, and tested. When asked about his temperature, Trump told reporters on his way out he was “totally normal”.
Trump said his coronavirus test has been sent out to a lab and the results will take one or two days.
His physician said in a letter the commander-in-chief didn’t need to be tested for coronavirus, after a seconds Brazilian official who recently met with the president at Mar-a-Lago tested positive. Dr. Sean P. Conley, the president’s physician, wrote that  Trump’s interactions with infected guests were “low risk”.

“The President’s exposure to the first individual was extremely limited (photograph, handshake) and though he spent more time in closer proximity to the second case, all interactions occurred before any symptom onset,” Conley’s statement said. “These interactions would be categorized as LOW risk for transmission per CDC guidelines, and as such, there is no indication for home quarantine at this time.”

Acting Brazilian Chargé d’Affaires Ambassador Nestor Forster had tested positive for the virus, the Brazilian Embassy said Friday.

Fabio Wajngarten, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro’s communications secretary, tested positive on Wednesday. He posed for a photo with the president at the event.

Brazilian Sen. Nelsinho Trad, another attendee at the Mar-a-Lago dinner, also tested positive for the virus, according to a statement from his office Friday evening. His son tested negative for the virus hours after Brazilian reports indicated he tested positive.

“The information I have is the results that just came up telling that he is negative for coronavirus,” Eduardo Bolsonaro said of his father. “I never listened that it was positive in the first exam. This is something that I don’t know. But, uh, everything’s good now.”

 

As of Saturday morning, more than 2,100 patients have contracted the virus in the U.S. and at least 50 people have died.
