Here's What We Know About Melania Trump's COVID-19 Experience
We first learned of Melania Trump's COVID-19 test status on Friday, October 2. The First Lady tweeted at the time, "As too many Americans have done this year, @potus & I are quarantining at home after testing positive for COVID-19. We are feeling good & I have postponed all upcoming engagements. Please be sure you are staying safe & we will all get through this together." She later updated her 15.3 million followers, tweeting, "Thank you for the love you are sending our way. I have mild symptoms but overall feeling good. I am looking forward to a speedy recovery."
Melania has been silent on social media since, only re-sharing a video from April about how to stay safe during the pandemic. We know from President Trump's Twitter updates that the couple was at first quarantining together at the White House — that is until the commander in chief was transferred to Walter Reed Medical Center out of an abundance of caution, according to his team. Trump left the hospital Sunday evening to wave to supporters, according to the New York Post, but not before he shared a video update in which he said, "The First Lady is doing very well." So, how has Melania been doing in the meantime?
What we know about Melania Trump's health since her diagnosis
President Trump's physician, Dr. Sean Conley, also offered an update on the First Lady's health status on Saturday, saying she "is doing great" (via WFLA). He added there was no reason at that time to treat Melania with any additional interventions. Her symptoms included a "mild cough and headache," according to Conley. It's being reported that the 50-year-old has been isolating at the White House since receiving her positive test results.
Meanwhile, her chief of staff Stephanie Grisham said Saturday about Melania's condition, "Her symptoms have not worsened, and she continues to rest. She remains in touch with her husband. She is thinking of all who are ill and wishes them a speedy recovery" (via Washington Examiner).
