New Delhi (NVI): US President Donald Trump has tested negative for the coronavirus, 10 days after he had tested COVID-19 positive, said the White House physician Sean Conley.
According to a memo from Conley, the US President has tested negative “on consecutive days” using an Abbott Laboratories BinaxNOW antigen card and is “not infectious to others”.

“It is important to note that this test was not used in isolation for the determination of the president’s current negative status,” Conley added.
Meanwhile, Trump returns to the campaign trail with a rally in Sanford, Florida, his first since he disclosed on October 2 that he tested positive for COVID-19.
At least 35 people have been infected with COVID-19 in the White House, including top aides to the president and first lady Melania Trump.
