WASHINGTON — President Trump announced on Twitter early Friday morning that he and First Lady Melania Trump have “tested positive for COVID 19.”

“Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for COVID-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER!” Trump wrote.

Trump made the announcement about two hours after he said that he and the first lady were “waiting for our test results” following the news that Hope Hicks, a top White House aide with whom they had recently traveled on Air Force One, had tested positive.

“Hope Hicks, who has been working so hard without even taking a small break, has just tested positive for Covid 19,” Trump wrote. “Terrible! The First Lady and I are waiting for our test results. In the meantime, we will begin our quarantine process!”

The White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment about the total number of people in the president’s inner circle and staff who may also have been infected with the disease, which, as of Friday morning, has killed at least 207,789 Americans.

A spokesperson for Vice President Mike Pence did not immediately respond to requests for comment about whether he was tested for COVID-19 in the past 24 hours.

At 74 years of age, Trump is at increased risk for serious complications from COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus. His testing positive could also have major implications for the presidential election, which is just 32 days away.

Republican National Committee chairwoman Ronna McDaniel tested positive for the coronavirus.

RNC spokesperson Mike Reed confirmed the news in a statement to McClatchy News.

“After a member of her family tested positive for COVID-19, the Chairwoman was tested for the virus. On Wednesday afternoon, she got confirmation she was COVID-19 positive,” the statement read.

McDaniel has “mild” symptoms after contracting the disease, NBC News and The New York Times reported Friday.

McDaniel has been home in Michigan since Saturday, Reed said, according to CNN.

The news comes hours after President Donald Trump on early Friday revealed he and first lady Melania Trump tested positive for COVID-19.

It’s unknown whether those cases were linked to McDaniel’s infection. She was last with Trump on Sept. 26, the Times reported.

McDaniel received the positive test results on Wednesday but didn’t mention her diagnosis in her well-wishes to the Trumps.

“Wishing @realDonaldTrump and @FLOTUS Melania Trump a speedy recovery,” she wrote Friday morning on Twitter. “We are praying for you!”
