Per the White House doctor, President Trump does not have coronavirus. The test results come after pressure from reporters for the president to undergo screening for the potential contraction of COVID-19. Since the spread of coronavirus, certain leaders in Washington and members of the Trump administration have self-quarantined after contact or potential contact with COVID-19-positive individuals.
An excerpt from the White House doctor regarding Trump’s coronavirus test results reads as follows:
“Last night after an in-depth discussion with the president regarding COVID-19 testing, he elected to proceed. This evening, I received confirmation that the test is negative.”
The White House doctor also noted his work with the CDC and the nation’s coronavirus task force, which is currently headed by Vice President Mike Pence.
Staying Viligant in Current Times
Concerns about coronavirus are understandable; however, remaining vigilant and not succumbing to hysteria and mania are imperative. Per the CDC and other health officials, staying home when sick, cleaning dirty surfaces, frequent handwashing and general hygienic habits are some of the most effective ways to halt the spread of COVID-19.
