President Donald Trump's positive Covid-19 test has prompted many to seek clarity on the procedures in place to deal with a variety of scenarios.

The president, 74, who is regularly tested for Covid-19, said via Twitter that he and the first lady would now begin their quarantine and recovery process. Hudak said the test, in itself, would not be cause for emergency action. Instead, Trump "would likely be able to continue his everyday activities and manage the office either undisturbed or with mild challenges."
The diagnosis will mean it is important for the president "to continue to communicate with the American public, especially if he is mildly symptomatic or asymptomatic," Hudak said. "Seeing the president on camera can restore faith in his wellness, calm nervous Americans,and project to the world that the president remains well enough to execute the office."
"In an unfortunate scenario in which the president were to contract Covid-19 and need therapies such as a ventilator and/or the use of other therapies that would impair his cognitive abilities and/or abilities to communicate, there are a few procedures in place to deal with that situation," Hudak said.
