President Trump and first lady Melania Trump tested positive for the coronavirus.


The president notified the public in an early Friday morning tweet, writing that the two will begin quarantining immediately.

"We will get through this TOGETHER!" Trump wrote.



The Washington Examiner reached out to the White House for further comment and was directed to a memo written by White House physician Sean Conley.

With the permission of the first couple, Conley said the two are doing well and "remain at home within the White House during their convalescence."

"The White House Medical team and I will maintain a vigilant watch, and I appreciate the support provided by some of our country's greatest medical professionals and institutions. Rest assured I will expect the President to continue carrying out his duties without disruption while recovering, and I will keep you updated on any future developments," Conley continued.

Melania Trump said after the diagnosis that both she and the president were "feeling good" and noted that they have canceled all of their plans in order to quarantine.




"As too many Americans have done this year, @potus & I are quarantining at home after testing positive for COVID-19. We are feeling good & I have postponed all upcoming engagements. Please be sure you are staying safe & we will all get through this together," the first lady said in a late-night tweet.


The Washington Examiner reached out to the Biden campaign for comment about the president's diagnosis but did not immediately receive a response. It is unclear how Trump's positive test result will affect the presidential debates. The next matchup between the two candidates is set for Oct. 15.
