US President Donald Trump has tested negative for Covid-19 and he is not infectious to others, the White House physician said on Monday.
In a memo released by the White House ahead of Trump’s rally in Florida, Dr. Sean Conley said Trump had tested negative on consecutive days using an Abbott Laboratories BinaxNOW antigen card.
He said the negative tests and other clinical and laboratory data “indicate a lack of detectable viral replication.”
