They did not travel aboard Air Force One, according to the person familiar with her condition, and she was the only person in the group who tested positive.As a routine precaution, people who come in close contact with Trump are screened for the virus.Guilfoyle is the third person in possible proximity to Trump known to have contracted the virus. A personal valet who served Trump his food and the press secretary for Vice-President Mike Pence tested positive for the virus in May.Guilfoyle was not experiencing symptoms, the person familiar with her condition said. She and the younger Trump never met up with the President's entourage, the person said. Out of caution, the couple planned to drive back from South Dakota to the East Coast, the person said.Still, that another person who was expected to be near Trump tested positive — and someone whom most staff aides consider a member of the Trump family — is likely to renew attention around potential risks to the President. and as states across the country report a record number of cases each day, White House officials — and Trump in particular — have minimised their focus on the virus in public appearances. In an interview on Wednesday, the President indicated that he believed the virus was "going to sort of just disappear". When asked if he would wear a mask, the President said he had worn one and liked the way he looked.Advertisement"It was a dark black mask, and I thought it looked okay. It looked like the Lone Ranger."His aides recently modified protocols for people entering the White House grounds, abandoning routine temperature checks, for instance. They have counselled people experiencing symptoms typical of the coronavirus to stay away.But people who come in proximity to Trump and Pence are still tested for the virus.The New York TimesThe most important news, analysis and insights delivered to your inbox at the start and end of each day.
