WASHINGTON—President Trump moved to a hospital facility on Friday following a positive Covid-19 test that forced officials to cancel White House events and postpone travel,Mr. Trump, wearing a blue mask, gave a thumb’s up sign but made no comment as he walked to the Marine One helicopter that carried him to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. He will quarantine at the Bethesda, Md.
Ms. McEnany said the president’s symptoms were mild and the move was made out of an abundance of caution. Earlier Friday, White House physician Sean Conley said the president was fatigued and that first lady Melania Trump, who also tested positive, had a mild cough and headache. As Mr. Trump left the White House, he tweeted a recorded video in which he thanked people for their support. “I think I’m doing very well, but we’re going to make sure that things work out,” he said. He said the first lady is “doing very well.”
The diagnosis rippled through the White House, as at least seven people who attended the president’s Supreme Court announcement in the White House Rose Garden last weekend said they had since tested positive and officials also. Mr. Trump asked Vice President Mike Pence to host a scheduled call with governors in his place and scratched planned campaign trips Friday and Saturday in the battleground states of Florida and Wisconsin.
