(Bloomberg) — President Donald Trump’s oldest son, Donald Trump
Jr., tested positive for coronavirus earlier this week and is
isolating, according to three people familiar with the matter.

A spokesman for Trump Jr. said in a statement he is asymptomatic
for Covid-19, the disease caused by the virus.

Trump Jr. adds to the dozens of people associated with the
president who have been infected by the virus, including Trump
himself. On Friday, Rudy Giuliani’s son Andrew Giuliani, who is a
White House aide, announced on Twitter he had tested positive. In
addition, an aide to Vice President Mike Pence, Hannah MacInnis,
tested positive earlier this month, according to two people
familiar with the matter.

Several of Pence’s aides have been infected, including his
communications director, who had previously been his press
secretary, and his chief of staff. Pence himself has not.

Giuliani attended a news conference his father hosted Thursday
where he and other Trump-allied lawyers repeated unsubstantiated
claims that voter fraud had led to the president’s defeat for
re-election. One of the lawyers, Jenna Ellis, said Friday on
Twitter that she and Rudy Giuliani had tested negative for
infection.

The coronavirus pandemic is surging around the country, with new
cases regularly topping 150,000 per day since last week. More than
254,000 Americans have died from the virus since February. Trump’s
handling of the pandemic helped cost him the White House.

Earlier this month, in the days after the presidential election,
Trump’s chief of staff, Mark Meadows, told associates that he had
coronavirus. It wasn’t immediately clear when Meadows learned that
he had contracted the virus or whether he had developed symptoms of
Covid-19.

Bloomberg News previously reported that a number of others who
attended a Nov. 3 election party at the White House — including
Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson and Trump
campaign adviser David Bossie — also contracted the virus.

Others in the president’s orbit, such as longtime adviser Corey
Lewandowski and Republican lobbyist Jeff Miller, tested positive
for the virus, in the days after the party as well. About 200
people attended the party, mingling in close quarters largely
without masks. But it’s not certain whether those who attended the
party contracted the virus at the event.

More than four dozen people associated with Trump or the White
House have been infected by the virus, including the president, his
wife, Melania, and his youngest son, Barron.

On Thursday, the administration’s coronavirus task force, led by
Pence, briefed reporters at the White House for the first time
since April, after the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention recommended earlier that Americans cancel Thanksgiving
travel plans.

Pence and members of the task force touted progress in the
development of potential vaccines and preparedness in distributing
them once they’re available. He also said the administration
doesn’t support another national lockdown.
