Trump Says First Lady Tested Negative For Coronavirus

(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump said Monday that first lady Melania Trump had tested negative for the coronavirus.

The president was asked if she was tested since both he and Vice President Mike Pence tested negative. Trump has said he only asked to be tested because of repeated media inquiries.

“Yes,” he said at a White House press conference. “She’s great. She’s fine. Negative. OK? Negative.”

Trump did not say whether the first lady had symptoms of the disease or had a known contact with someone who had the virus.
