COVID-19: Trump passes second coronavirus test

Trump passes second coronavirus test

President Donald Trump has again tested negative for Coronavirus as
confirmed on Thursday’s White House press briefing on coronavirus
developments.

In a memo distributed by press secretary Stephanie Grisham just
before the daily White House coronatask force briefing, it was gathered
that the US President was tested by White House physician Sean Conley.

The memo read;

“This morning, the President was tested again for Covid-19, utilizing
a new rapid point-of-care test capability. He is healthy and without
symptoms.”

President Trump also confirmed he underwent a second test and got his
test result in 15 minutes. He was tested using “a new, rapid
point-of-care test capability”.

Holding up the memo, the US President said;

“I took the new test, which provides results in 15 minutes really out
of curiosity to see how quickly it worked, how fast it worked.

“I did take a test. It just came out, this is from the White House physician. I just took it this morning.

“And I took it, it took me literally a minute to take it and it took
me — I guess it was 14 or 15 minutes (for results). I went to work, I
didn’t wait for it, but it said it took 14 minutes or something with a
conclusion and it said the President tested negative for Covid-19.”

Trump also tested negative in mid-March, when multiple White House
officials were self-isolating and Trump had been in contact with a
number of people who either got coronavirus or were in contact with
people who did.

Lack of adequate test kits has bedeviled the Trump administration’s
response to the coronavirus, making it hard for public health officials
and scientists to track the spread of the disease and see where hotspots
are popping up. In response, federal health officials approved a
coronavirus test last month that can provide results in less than 15
minutes, using the same technology that powers some rapid flu tests.

Thursday’s press conference came after more than a million cases of the virus was confirmed worldwide.
