President Donald Trump speaks during briefing on coronavirus in the Brady press briefing room at the White House, Saturday, March 14, 2020, in Washington.President Donald Trump on Saturday said he was recently tested for the novel coronavirus and is awaiting results.
"The President's exposure to the first individual was extremely limited , and though he spent more time in proximity to the second case, all interactions occurred before any symptom onset," Trump's doctor, Sean Coley, wrote. Multiple members of Congress were potentially exposed to the virus after interacting with someone who tested positive for it after attending the Conservative Political Action Conference. Some of those lawmakers later shook hands with Trump or were in close proximity to him.
As the president was moving from the podium, a reporter asked about his temperature. Trump remarked it was "totally normal," though he did not provide any more details.
