According to early reports on Friday, the president was experiencing mild COVID-19 symptoms which included trouble breathing and a fever. CNN White House correspondent told Anderson Cooper, "I talked to a Trump campaign advisor a short while ago that said this is serious. That the president has been having some trouble breathing, that he's been very fatigued today, very tired."

Since then, Trump has checked into Walter Reed hospital for further treatment. The White House said Trump's admittance is a "precautionary measure." The White House statement also noted “President Trump remains in good spirts, has mild symptoms, and has been working throughout the day,” and “Out of an abundance of caution ... the President will be working from the presidential offices at Walter Reed for the next few days.”

Just after his interview on Fox News and subsequent tweet stating that he and First Lady Melania Trump would be quarantining after Hope Hicks positive COVID-19 test, Donald Trump took to Twitter to announce that they have tested positive as well. 

"Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for COVID-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER!," Trump tweeted.

Following the news that Donald Trump's adviser Hope Hicks tested positive for coronavirus, the president and First Lady Melania Trump are awaiting their COVID-19 test results and are preparing to quarantine. Trump told Sean Hannity on Fox News that he  “spent a lot of time” with Hicks during his recent trip to Cleveland, OH for the first presidential debate and Minnesota for his campaign rally. 

Trump, who is rarely ever seen wearing a mask, claims it's far too difficult to social distance because people are always coming up to him to express their thanks for his governance. “It’s very, very hard when you are with people from the military or from law enforcement and they come over to you,” said the president. “They want to hug you and they want to kiss you because we really have done such a great job for them. And you get close to them — and things happen.”

“I just went for a test and we’ll see what happens. Who knows?” said Trump. After his interview, Trump tweeted, “In the meantime, we will begin our quarantine process!”
