NEGATIVE: Trump confirmed not to have coronavirus despite recent contacts with infected Brazilian officials
US President Donald Trump’s test for the Covid-19 he took in the wake of contacting at least two Brazilian officials with the virus, has come back negative, the White House announced.
“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 statement put out by Trump’s physician, Sean P. Conley, reads.
While initially brushing off concerns about him potentially contracting the deadly virus at the reception he hosted for a Brazilian delegation at Mar-a-Lago, Trump acquiesced, telling a new conference on Saturday that he had taken the test.
