On Saturday afternoon, during a press conference, President Donald Trump revealed he has finally been tested for the coronavirus.
— Sens. Rick Scott of Florida and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina — hadn’t been experiencing any symptoms but chose to self-isolate anyway. “His doctors still believe that he is at a low risk and getting tested is unnecessary as long as he’s not experiencing symptoms. But we’re constantly re-evaluating the situation,” a spokesperson for Scott told BuzzFeed News in an email. Meanwhile, Graham’s office confirmed he’s awaiting test results.
Additionally, the president keeps touching people, which is some cause for concern. At Friday’s press conference, while outlining some of the administration's plans to combat the virus, he shook hands with nearly every speaker who approached the podium. At Saturday’s press briefing, when asked, he explained it was a force of habit to shake hands. with the president or Vice President Mike Pence, according to MSN.
“Out of an abundance of caution, temperature checks are now being performed on any individuals who are in close contact with the President and Vice President,” Deputy Press Secretary Judd Deere said.
