总统唐纳德·特朗普周五早上发推特说他和第一夫人梅兰妮·特朗普已经被诊断为新冠肺炎。
特朗普的诊断是在披露他的亲密顾问霍普·希克斯感染病毒几小时后做出的。她和总统在克利夫兰参加了周二的辩论和周三在明尼苏达州的集会。消息人士告诉美国广播公司新闻,她有症状。
总统预定在未来几天在战场州举行几次集会,但这些集会现在被搁置,因为他在白宫被隔离。

Biden, Obama, Clintons, other US leaders react to Trump COVID-19 diagnosis
PresidentDonald Trumptweeted early Friday morning that he and first ladyMelania Trumphave beendiagnosed with COVID-19.
Trump's diagnosis came just hours after it was revealed his close adviser, Hope Hicks, had contracted the virus. She was with the president in Cleveland for the debate on Tuesday and for a rally in Minnesota on Wednesday. Sources tell ABC News she is symptomatic.
The president was slated to hold several rallies in battleground states in the coming days, but those are now on hold while he isolates at the White House.
Shortly after Trump announced he and the first lady had tested positive for COVID-19, celebrities, politicians and leaders shared well wishes and prayers for a speedy recovery.
Former Vice PresidentJoe Biden
"Jill and I send our thoughts to President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump for a swift recovery. We will continue to pray for the health and safety of the president and his family," Biden tweeted Friday morning.
California Sen. Kamala Harris
Biden's running mate tweeted well wishes to the president and first lady via Twitter.
"Doug and I join Joe Biden and Dr. Biden in wishing President Trump and the First Lady a full and speedy recovery. We’re keeping them and the entire Trump family in our thoughts," she wrote.
Former President Barack Obama
Trump's predecessor tweeted that he and former first lady Michelle Obama "hope that the President, First Lady, and all those affected by the coronavirus around the country are getting the care they need and are on the path to a speedy recovery."
"Obviously, we’re in the midst of a big political battle right now, and while there’s a lot at stake, let’s remember that we’re all Americans," he added. "We’re all human beings. And we want everyone to be healthy, no matter our party."
Michelle and I hope that the President, First Lady, and all those affected by the coronavirus around the country are getting the care they need and are on the path to a speedy recovery.
— Barack Obama (@BarackObama)October 2, 2020
At the same time Obama tweeted his message of support for the current president, Trump's campaign sent out a fundraising email starting with the phrase "Lyin' Obama."
The Clintons
Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Trump's opponent in the 2016 election, posted the same message on Twitter. They both wished for "a speedy recovery, and hope for the safety of the White House staff, the Secret Service, and others putting their lives on the line."
"This pandemic has affected so many," their message continued. "We must continue to protect ourselves, our families, and communities."

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo
The Democratic governor said he was sending a "New York Cares" package to the president and first lady featuring apples from upstate, New York City bagels, beloved Junior's cheesecake and more treats from the Empire State.
"We can have political differences, and people know I have political differences with the President, and we're both New Yorkers so we're not shy about speaking our mind," Cuomo said in a statement. "This situation creates a lot of anxiety.
"I've gone through this in my family, and I'm sure his children and family are worried," he added. "So on behalf of the family of New York, I wish them a speedy recovery and they're in our thoughts and prayers. And we're going to be sending the President and First Lady a New York Cares package, just to give them some comfort as they go through this difficult period."
New York Sen. Chuck Schumer
The Senate Democratic leader released a statement Friday wishing the president, first lady, "and any White House staff members who are infected a speedy recovery."
"I join the nation in praying for the First Family's health and safety," he added.
Schumer called for an immediate contact tracing effort following CDC guidelines, and for all those who came in contact with those exposed to the virus to self-isolate.
"That includes Judge Amy Coney Barrett and anyone she was in contact with. It must also include people in the Senate with whom those individuals came into contact with, and their contacts," Schumer said. "Though they have not done so in the past, the administration must now follow the science and all recommended health protocols in order to not put additional people at risk. And they must be completely transparent."
Schumer continued: "Finally, what happened to President Trump is a reminder of why the whole country, including Senators and staff, must follow the science and follow the protocols laid out by the CDC and public health officials. When you ignore the science, you don’t wear a mask, and you don’t follow social distancing guidelines, it puts you and everyone around you at risk. Following science is a must."
South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham
Graham tweeted Friday morning that he spoke with the president and is wishing him and the first lady a speedy recovery.
"Like most Americans, I’m wishing President @realDonaldTrump and @FLOTUS @MelaniaTrump a speedy recovery," the South Carolina Republican wrote on Twitter. "The president was in good spirits this morning when I spoke with him and very engaged in the upcoming hearing regarding Supreme Court nominee, Judge Amy Barrett."
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine
"Fran and I join our fellow Ohioans in praying for President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump after they announced early today that they have both tested positive for COVID-19," the governor tweeted. "Along with millions of others, we extend our prayers and best wishes to the President and First Lady during this time for a speedy recovery and for their good health."
Evangelist leader Franklin Graham
"Early this morning, President @realDonaldTrump and First Lady @MelaniaTrump announced that, like many other Americans, they have tested positive for the coronavirus. Please join me in praying especially for them, that they would have a quick recovery," Graham tweeted.
