Trump: President has tested negative for the coronavirus, his doctor says.

WASHINGTON » President Donald Trump has tested negative for the new coronavirus, according to the president’s personal physician.

The White House released the test results Saturday night after Trump told reporters hours earlier that he had taken the coronavirus test, following days of resisting being screened despite the fact that he had been in recent contact with three people who have tested positive for the virus, including members of the Brazilian president’s delegation who visited with him at his Florida resort.

“One week after having dinner with the Brazilian delegation in Mar-a-lago, the president remains symptom-free,” Sean Conley, the president’s physician, said in a memo.

Trump told reporters at a White House briefing on Saturday that he had his temperature taken and it was “totally normal,” shortly before stepping into the room to discuss the government’s efforts to halt the spread of the virus.

The pandemic has infected over 2,700 people in the U.S. and caused at least 54 deaths.

The president had multiple direct and indirect contacts with people who since have tested positive for the virus, including three people he spent time with last weekend at his Mar-a-lago club in Florida.

The Brazilian Embassy in Washington said late Friday that the country’s chargé d’affaires, Nestor Forster, tested positive after sitting at Trump’s dinner table.

So, too, has a top aide to Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.
