Barron Trump - the 14-year-old son of President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump - tested negative for SARS-CoV-2, after his parents were confirmed positive for the virus.
Barron has tested negative and all precautions are being taken to ensure he is safe and healthy, USA Today quoted Stephanie Grisham, chief of staff and spokesperson for First Lady.
President Trump and his wife were confirmed to be COVID-19 a few hours after his top assistant - Hope Hicks - was confirmed to be COVID-19. Hope Hicks tested positive for the virus and had symptoms on October 2. Donald Trump's female assistant was diagnosed on the evening of September 30 while accompanying the president to Minnesota.
According to Chicago.suntimes.com, Barron Trump's school - St. Petersburg. Andrew's Episcopal - plans to start converting learning to a combined learning model from October 13. Accordingly, the learning plan for grades 7-12 is for half of students to study at home and the remaining half to study directly at the school on a rotating basis every week.
When asked in July about sending his son and grandchildren back to school amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Donald Trump said he would be " comfortable" with that. At the time, White House adviser Kellyanne Conway said it would be a "personally decided" by the president and first lady.
President Donald Trump was taken to Water Reed Hospital on the evening of October 2 after symptoms of fever and fatigue. Previously, White House doctor Sean Conley said that the president and first lady "intended to stay in the White House during their treatment".
Images of the activities of the first lady of the United States are very rare and seeing Barron Trump is even rarer. The last time First Lady Melania Trump was seen was when she and President Trump's eldest children attended the first US election debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. This event did not have the appearance of Barron Trump.
In the latest post on Twitter, Ms. Melania Trump thanked those who have supported. She revealed: "I have mild symptoms but overall I am healthy. I hope to recover quickly".
According to the White House doctor, others in President Donald Trump's family are healthy and negative about SARS-CoV-2.
After President Donald Trump shared his first post on Twitter announcing his health status, Ivanka Trump - the president's daughter and advisor - shared the video and praised her father as a "warrior". "My father is a warrior and will defeat him. I love you, father" - Ivanka Trump wrote.
Previously, Donald Trump's second son - Eric Trump - also shared on Twitter that his father was "a true warrior". "He will fight with the strength and the confidence he uses to fight for America every day and every day," Eric Trump wrote.
