Watch: Trump Says He Has Been Tested for Coronavirus But Does Not Know Result
President Donald Trump casually announced he has taken a coronavirus test, notably mentioning it was in response to the press’ questions. Trump said he took it Friday night but does not know the result or when he will have the result.
“I don’t know, whatever it takes, a day, two days,” Trump told reporters.
Some coronavirus test results are available within hours, but the president said his was sent out to a lab.
Over last weekend at Mar-a-Lago, Trump was in close proximity to several members of the Brazilian president’s administration who have tested positive for coronavirus.
