Trump tests negative for coronavirus white house doctor
According to reports, on March 12, 2020, President Donald Trump tested negative for the coronavirus (COVID-19) after being evaluated by the White House physician, Dr. Sean Conley. This was announced by the White House Press Secretary, Stephanie Grisham, in a statement.
Here's the statement:
"Out of an abundance of caution, the President was evaluated by the White House Medical Unit and the @CDCgov. The results of the test are negative. The President remains in excellent health, and his physician expects him to continue to be in good health."
It's worth noting that Trump had been in close proximity to several individuals who had tested positive for the virus, including a person who had been in the Oval Office with him just days earlier. This led to concerns about his potential exposure to the virus.
However, after the test results came back negative, Trump tweeted:
"Just got a report that the test results came back and they were all bad. Fake News!"
It's unclear what Trump meant by "all bad," but it's possible he was referring to the fact that several people in his orbit had tested positive for the virus.
In any case, the negative test result was a relief to many, as it meant that the President was not infected with the virus.
