Donald Trump said early Friday that he and first lady Melania Trump had tested positive for COVID-19.
The announcement came hours after one of Trump's closest aides tested positive for the virus.
"The President and First Lady are both well at this time, and they plan to remain at home within the White House during their convalescence," Sean P. Conley, the White House physician, said in a statement.
The news comes at the height of the president’s re-election campaign ahead of Nov. 3 polls.
