Trump Tests Negative for COVID-19
Due to the Coronavirus, a whole lot of people want to test themselves to see if they are positive of having this virus or not. People who have jobs involving interactions with other people or much more importantly, people coming from different parts of the world have a very high chance of virus exposure and can be infected in no time.
So leaders from different countries undergo several tests to determine their health status but it is a different case to President Trump. He is adamant to take a series of tests because he believes that it is not necessary. But what made him decide to undergo the test is undeniably different from what the press expected it to be.
The President of the United States of America, Donald Trump went through a series of tests, and the results were negative, according to the White House physician.
This is after a week of interacting with different people who are infected with the said virus, and President Trump decided to undergo tests conducted by Sean P. Conley the physician, to see if he, himself is infected as well.
He also said to the press that he had been tested and was waiting for the result. And after twelve hours or so the physician announced that the President's test results are negative. And in addition to the physician's statement, he also said that a test was not necessary because the President was not showing any symptoms.
Many are worried and bothered because the President of the United States refused to quarantine himself, conducted a meeting with the Administrative officials of the White House and even shook hands with chief executives who visited the premises. And obviously, these actions lead to much criticism saying that he is throwing away his credibility in these times of global emergency, especially when it comes to his health.
President Trump decided to undergo a series of tests not because he had physical interaction with the Brazilian officials who were later found positive of Coronavirus, but because the news and the media raised more questions than it answered.
So as soon as the test result came in and the result was found negative, he initiated a press interview to once and for all make it clear to the media, and the public as well, that he is not infected with the virus.
Mr. Conley said that he had issued a letter on Friday admitting the fact that President Trump has indeed interacted with two people who later tested positive with the Coronavirus. However, he was not recommending the President to quarantine and testing for Coronavirus Disease 19 is not at the time necessary. But it was not clear if the letter was released before the President took the test.
Another member who underwent the test is the chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, Ronna McDaniel. She said that she decided to take a test because she was experiencing the flu-like symptoms after attending the fund-raising event at Mar-a-Lago, where she introduced President Trump, and was since quarantining at home.
