总统的消息唐纳德·特朗普第一夫人梅兰妮·特朗普承包新冠肺炎与此同时，总统正在大幅增加他的竞选集会时间表，进入竞选的最后阶段选举季节。
特朗普2020竞选经理比尔·斯捷潘(Bill Stepien)在一份声明中表示，“所有先前宣布的涉及总统参与的竞选活动都在转移到虚拟活动的过程中，或者暂时推迟。”
"此外，先前宣布的涉及第一家庭成员的活动也暂时推迟。斯捷潘说:“所有其他竞选活动都将在个案基础上进行考虑，我们将在未来几天内发布任何相关公告。”
2020年9月30日，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普在明尼苏达州德卢斯市德卢斯国际机场的竞选集会上发表讲话。
他还说，副总统迈克·彭斯，谁测试为新冠肺炎阴性，计划恢复他预定的竞选活动。周五没有安排。
尽管大多数集会都是在机场机库的室外举行，但也有一些被安排在室内举行，尽管地方和州政府官员请求这样做。出席这些活动的还有大量不戴面具的支持者，他们没有社交距离。
特朗普一直在假设自己相信美国正在“扭转局势”的情况下开展竞选活动冠状病毒大流行，尽管公共卫生专家反驳他，像安东尼·福奇博士，顶级传染病专家和国家过敏和传染病研究所主任，他说，“我不得不不不同意。”
唐纳德·特朗普总统于2020年9月29日在克利夫兰凯斯西储大学健康教育校区参加了针对民主党总统候选人乔·拜登的第一次总统辩论。
总统正试图挽救他的连任机会，因为他在民调中落后于前副总统乔·拜登，面临现金短缺，并有一场辩论，前新泽西州州长和美国广播公司新闻撰稿人克里斯·克里斯蒂帮助总统准备辩论的，说他在舞台上“太热了”。
根据他最近的诊断，这使得总统连任竞选的现状陷入混乱。
自8月17日重启以来，特朗普已经举行了20次集会，仅在9月份，就有15次集会。总统还计划在接下来的几天里在佛罗里达州、威斯康星州和亚利桑那州举行五次集会。原定于周五在佛罗里达州中部举行的一场集会在他宣布自己已签约后不久被取消冠状病毒。
斯捷潘在周五早些时候给竞选工作人员的电子邮件中说，“虽然一些公共活动将被取消，但竞选办公室仍然开放，我们的全国团队将继续努力重新选举特朗普总统，”消息人士告诉美国广播公司新闻。
Stepien还说，任何接触过检测呈阳性的人的人都应该立即自我隔离。
斯捷潘说:“虽然我们认为目前没有症状的人不需要自我隔离，但我们所有人都有责任继续行使竞选活动长期鼓励的明智判断和做法:戴口罩、洗手、保持社交距离、每天通过live safe应用程序签到，如果感觉不舒服，就在家工作。”
上个月，特朗普告诉一名记者拉斯维加斯评论杂志他并不担心感染冠状病毒，因为在他的竞选活动中，“我站在舞台上，离得很远。”
值得注意的是，在这些竞选活动中，总统背后的支持者被告知他们必须戴口罩，但在整个会场的其他地方，虽然口罩被分发出去，人们被鼓励戴口罩，但很少有人戴口罩。
2020年9月30日，明尼苏达州德卢斯，唐纳德·特朗普总统在德卢斯国际机场的竞选集会上发表讲话后，向支持者投掷帽子。
据塔尔萨卫生官员称，在俄克拉荷马州塔尔萨的冠状病毒病例增加后，总统暂停了今年夏天早些时候的大型竞选集会，这次集会可能导致新冠肺炎病例激增。他转向了竞选团队所描述的“电话集会”
他们是零星的，没有任何指导——最近的一次是在周四晚上，在他的阳性诊断宣布之前。“电话集会”是总统从一个选定的州打电话给支持者，这些聊天同时在脸谱网上流向他的2900万追随者。
目前还不知道有多少支持者在打电话，只能听到总统在说话，但特朗普在几个关键的战场州举办了16场这样的活动。这可能是总统在孤立状态下继续与支持者接触的一种方式。
伊万卡·特朗普小唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump Jr .)和埃里克·特朗普(Eric Trump)最近也在竞选活动中，并计划参加未来的竞选活动。
这些事件的状况也仍然不确定，因为任何与新冠肺炎有密切接触的人——就像他们在周二晚上的第一次总统辩论中与总统一样——都应该隔离14天疾病控制中心的建议。
斯捷潘在周五的声明中说，与三人的竞选活动将根据具体情况进行，竞选团队将在未来几天内宣布任何即将到来的消息。
星期三他们都在跟踪，总统特别助理卡罗琳娜·赫尔利，说伊万卡和贾里德·库什纳周五对新冠肺炎的检测呈阴性。
总统的支持者和共和党的其他成员对总统表示同情和感谢。
共和党女主席罗纳·麦克丹尼尔在推特上说，她自己最近被诊断出患有新冠肺炎病，她“希望”雷亚尔·唐纳·特朗普和FLOTUS·梅兰妮·特朗普尽快康复。我们在为你祈祷!”
参议院多数党领袖米奇·麦康奈尔也发微博他“很高兴听到白宫医生的报告，说@波托斯和@FLOTUS在新冠肺炎检测呈阳性后感觉良好。让我们今天和每天继续为我们的总统和第一夫人以及所有受新冠肺炎影响的人祈祷。”
What Trump's COVID-19 diagnosis could mean for his campaign
The news of PresidentDonald Trumpand first ladyMelania Trumpcontracting COVID-19comes as the president was significantly ramping up his campaign rally schedule heading into the final stretch of theelectionseason.
Trump 2020 Campaign Manager Bill Stepien said in a statement that "all previously announced campaign events involving the President’s participation are in the process of being moved to virtual events or are being temporarily postponed."
"In addition, previously announced events involving members of the First Family are also being temporarily postponed. All other campaign events will be considered on a case-by-case basis and we will make any relevant announcements in the days ahead," said Stepien.
President Donald Trump speaks during a campaign rally at Duluth International Airport in Duluth, Minn., on Sept. 30, 2020.
He also said that Vice President Mike Pence, who has tested negative for COVID-19, plans on resuming his scheduled campaign events. None were scheduled for Friday.
While the majority of these rallies have been outdoors at airport hangars, some have been scheduled indoors, despite pleas from local and state officials. Also in attendance at these events are a large number of mostly mask-less supporters who are not social distancing.
Trump had been operating his campaign under the assumption that he believes that the United States is "rounding the turn" on thecoronavirus pandemic, even despite public health experts contradicting him, like Dr. Anthony Fauci, the top infectious disease expert and director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, who said, "I have to disagree with that."
President Donald Trump participates in the first presidential debate against Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden at the Health Education Campus of Case Western Reserve University on Sept. 29, 2020 in Cleveland.
The president is attempting to save his re-election chances as he is down in the polls to former Vice President Joe Biden, facing a cash crunch and had a debate performance where former New Jersey Governor and ABC News contributorChris Christie, who helped prep the president for the debate, said he was "too hot" on the stage.

With his recent diagnosis, this puts the current status of the president's re-election campaign in disarray.
Trump has held 20 rallies since restarting them on Aug. 17 and in the month of September, there were 15 rallies alone. The president also had five scheduled rallies in Florida, Wisconsin and Arizona over the next few days. A rally scheduled in central Florida for Friday was canceled shortly after he announced he had contracted thecoronavirus.
In an earlier email to campaign staff on Friday, Stepien said, "While some public events will be taken down, the Campaign office remains open and our nationwide team will continue with our efforts to re-elect President Trump," sources told ABC News.
Stepien also said that anyone who had exposure to someone who tested positive should immediately self quarantine.
"While we do not believe anyone else without symptoms needs to self-quarantine at this time, it is on all of us to continue to exercise the smart judgment and practices the campaign has long encouraged: wear a mask, wash your hands, socially distance, check in via the live safe app on a daily basis and work from home if you're not feeling well," Stepien said.
Last month Trump told a reporter with theThe Las Vegas Review-Journalthat he wasn't worried about contracting the coronavirus because at his campaign events, "I'm on a stage and it's very far away."
Notably, supporters behind the president at these campaign events are told they have to wear masks but throughout the rest of the venue, while masks are given away and people are encouraged to wear them, few are seen wearing them.
President Donald Trump throws hats to supporters after speaking at a campaign rally at Duluth International Airport, Sept. 30, 2020, in Duluth, Minn.
The president suspended his large campaign rallies earlier this summer after an increase in coronavirus cases at a Tulsa, Oklahoma, rally that likely contributed to a surge in COVID-19 cases, according to a Tulsa health official. He switched to what the campaign describes as "tele-rallies."
They are sporadic and held without any guidance -- one as recently as Thursday evening, before the announcement of his positive diagnosis. The "tele-rallies" are when the president calls supporters from a select state and those chats are simultaneously streamed on Facebook to his 29 million followers.
There is no inclination of how many supporters are on the calls, only the president can be heard speaking, but Trump has done 16 of those events in several key battleground states. It could be a way for the president to continue to engage with supporters while he is in isolation.
Ivanka Trump, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump have also been out on the campaign trail recently and were scheduled to participate in future campaign events.
The status of those events also remains uncertain because anyone who has been in close contact with someone who has COVID-19 -- as they were with the president at the first presidential debate on Tuesday night -- should quarantine for 14 days according to theCenter for Disease Control recommendations.
In his statement Friday, Stepien said that campaign events with the three will operate on a case-by-case basis and that the campaign will make any upcoming announcements in the days ahead.
They were all on the trail Wednesday and Carolina Hurley, special assistant to the president,saidIvanka and Jared Kushner tested negative for COVID-19 Friday.
Supporters of the president and other members of the Republican Party expressed their sympathy and gratitude for the president.
GOP Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, amid her own recent COVID-19 diagnosis, tweeted that she is "Wishing @realDonaldTrump and @FLOTUS Melania Trump a speedy recovery. We are praying for you!"
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell alsotweetedthat he was "Happy to hear the White House physician's report that @POTUS and @FLOTUS are feeling well following their positive tests for COVID-19. Let's continue to pray today and every day for our President and our First Lady and for all those impacted by COVID-19."
