The president leaves more COVID-19 cases in his wake.
Nine people who attended President Donald Trump’s campaign rally in Minnesota last month have tested positive for the coronavirus, and one remains in intensive care, state health officials reported Friday.
Trump reported that he and first lady Melania Trump tested positive for the coronavirus early Oct. 1 after his close aide Hope Hicks tested positive Thursday morning. Trump attended a fundraiser at his golf resort in Bedminster, New Jersey, hours before his positive test result was reported. He also attended a rally in Duluth, Minnesota, the previous day, when Hicks was reportedly experiencing COVID-19 symptoms.
Trump campaign spokesperson Tim Murtaugh said that tying the Bemidji cases to the rally is “a stretch,” adding: “We wish them all speedy recoveries.”
