Early this morning, US President Donald Trump took to Twitter to announce that he and the First Lady, Melania Trump have tested positive for COVID-19.
Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for COVID-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER!

The positive test result of the President came a few hours after the White House announced senior aide Hope Hicks was infected after travelling with him several times this week.
According to Trump's personal physician, the pair will stay at the White House to recover.
