Donald Trump infected with coronavirus
21:34
The US president announced that he was infected with the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. Hours earlier, it was reported that Donald Trump was in quarantine after his coworker was infected.
The American president announced his coronavirus infection on Twitter.
“The First Lady and I tested positive for Covid-19 this evening. We will begin the quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will go through it together,” Donald Trump wrote.
Shortly thereafter, the White House already published an official statement by chief presidential physician Sean P. Conley, who said that the US President and his wife Melania Trump would remain isolated for the time being.
“The president will normally perform his duties, but he will do it remotely. The White House medical team will be watching over him at all times,” Conley wrote.
However, it soon turned out that the condition of the US president was much more serious. Donald Trump was rushed to hospital where he was diagnosed with breathing problems. Since then, only conflicting signals have come from overseas.
For sure, however, the end of Trump's election campaign will be very seriously disrupted, because it is not known how long the current president will remain in self-isolation and whether he will need hospitalization at some stage. His second presidential debate with Biden, scheduled for October 15, is also questionable. The third is scheduled for October 22 in Nashville.
