Shock rippled across the world as President Trump revealed on Twitter on Thursday night that he and First Lady Melania Trump had both tested positive for Covid-19, the respiratory virus that has so far killed over 200,000 Americans and infected millions.
Although it’s unclear if he’s symptomatic, at 74, Trump is at higher risk of developing serious complications from the virus. Melania Trump is 50, and at slightly reduced risk.
Trump is the latest world leader to contract the virus. In late March, U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson tested positive for Covid-19 and was hospitalized and put in intensive care. Johnson wished Trump a “speedy recovery” on Friday morning U.K. time. Meanwhile, Brazil President Jair Bolsonaro was also infected in July.
On Friday morning, Democratic challenger Joe Biden tweeted well-wishes for the couple and their “swift recovery.”
