Live updates: Barron also had coronavirus but has now tested negative along with Melania Trump

Source: Washington Post

President Trump’s son, Barron Trump, tested positive for the coronavirus about the same time as his parents, but has since tested negative, the first lady disclosed Wednesday.

“Luckily he is a strong teenager and exhibited no symptoms,” Melania Trump wrote in an online post released by the White House. “In one way I was glad the three of us went through this at the same time so we could take care of one another and spend time together.”

The first lady said she has also tested negative, after both she and her husband got covid-19, the disease caused by the virus. She called her symptoms “minimal.” The president has also received a negative test, his doctor said this week.

by looking at the test itself. Three false positives in a batch of quickie tests is quite possible.

She doesn't even live in the White House. Stays as far away from him as she can and only comes out when her pre-nup says she has to.
