Print Edition
US President Donald Trump鈥檚 14-year-old son, Barron, tested positive for COVID-19 but exhibited no symptoms after both of his parents contracted the virus, first lady Melania Trump said on Wednesday.
鈥淟uckily he is a strong teenager and exhibited no symptoms,鈥 Melania Trump said in a statement.
Donald Trump told a rally in Des Moines, Iowa, that Barron 鈥渋s just fine now鈥 and said it was an example of why schools should reopen.
鈥淚 don鈥檛 even think he knew he had it, because they鈥檙e young and their immune systems are strong and they fight it off,鈥 Trump said.
鈥淕et the kids back to school.鈥
Melania Trump said her symptoms were 鈥渕inimal鈥 and that she hoped to resume her duties as first lady 鈥渁s soon as I can.鈥 鈥淚 experienced body aches, a cough and headaches, and felt extremely tired most of the time,鈥 she said.
鈥淚 chose to go a more natural route in terms of medicine, opting more for vitamins and healthy food,鈥 Melania Trump said.
She shared that after she and her husband first received their positive results, 鈥渘aturally, my mind went immediately to our son.鈥 She said she was relieved when he tested negative at first, but kept thinking about what would happen in the days to come.
鈥淢y fear came true when he was tested again and it came up positive,鈥 the first lady wrote in a statement released to social media.
鈥淚n one way I was glad the three of us went through this at the same time so we could take care of one another and spend time together,鈥 Melania Trump said.
Trump has called his bout with COVID-19 a 鈥渂lessing in disguise鈥 and says he is now immune as he campaigns for re-election on November 3.
