Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for COVID-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER!

Mr Trump said earlier that he and his wife are going into quarantine after Ms Hicks’s positive test.
Mr Trump tweeted on Thursday night about Ms Hicks: “Hope Hicks, who has been working so hard without even taking a small break, has just tested positive for COVID-19. Terrible!
The test results that returned positive will most likely affect the October 15 presidential debate.
