President Trump said Friday afternoon that he would “most likely” be tested “fairly soon” for the coronavirus, reversing course from his administration’s dismissal of the need to do so earlier in the week.
“We’re working on a schedule,” he said at a White House press conference, when asked repeatedly by reporters why he was not in isolation after being exposed last weekend to a person who has now tested positive for the illness.
Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, who attended some of the events involving the Brazilian delegation, announced Friday morning that he had tested positive for COVID-19. But White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said Thursday there was no need for Trump or Vice President Mike Pence to be tested. But the president’s failure to be tested already could mean that if he is infected he could become a “super-spreader” of the illness, a public health expert said.
