President Donald Trump’s chief of staff Mark Meadows has
tested positive for Covid-19, US media reported late
Friday.
Meadows, 61, told people he had coronavirus after the election,
CNN reported. He first tested positive on Wednesday, a day after
the poll, according to the New York Times.
Meadows was part of a crowd in a room at the White House early
on Wednesday when Trump spoke to around 150 of his top aides and
supporters, the Washington Post reported.
Several senior Trump administration officials have contracted
the virus in recent weeks, including the president and his wife
Melania.
Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany and policy advisers Stephen
Miller and Hope Hicks are among more than a dozen other senior
White House figures to be infected with since the start of
October.
The United States has been hit harder than any other country by
the Covid-19 pandemic since it swept the world at the start of this
year.
More than 9.7 million people have contracted the virus
nationwide, with more than 236,000 dead.
