US President Donald Trump said Saturday he took the test for coronavirus.
“I TOOK THE TEST”
“I also took the test last night,” Trump told reporters at a White House briefing. “I decided I should based on the press conference yesterday. People were asking that I take the test.” He said the test has been sent to a lab and the result is due in “a day, or two days”.
He has tested negative for coronavirus, the president’s physician, Sean Conley, said in a statement on Saturday.
On Friday, Trump said he will “most likely” be tested for coronavirus, after coming in contact with a Brazilian official who tested positive for the virus.
The official attended a dinner with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort and was photographed standing with Trump and Brazilian President Jair Bolsanaro and US Vice President Mike Pence.
Bolsanaro announced earlier Friday he tested negative for the virus.
