At 74 years old, Trump falls into the highest risk category for serious complications from the disease, which has killed more than 200,000 Americans and more than 1 million people worldwide.

A source close to Hicks told CNN that she is experiencing symptoms and is back in Washington. A source familiar with Hicks' symptoms describes her as being achy and feeling pretty bad. CNN has reached out to Hicks for comment.: Trump had initially tweeted late Thursday that he and the first lady were planning to quarantine after Hicks tested positive for coronavirus. Trump later tweeted that he and the first lady tested positive for coronavirus, saying they would begin their quarantine and recovery process.: First lady Melania Trump tweeted about her positive Covid-19 test results, saying,"We are feeling good & I have postponed all upcoming engagements," she said."Please be sure you are staying safe & we will all get through this together.": The President's physician, Sean P. Conley, confirmed the President and first lady's diagnosis in a memo."The President and First Lady are both well at this time, and they plan to remain at home within the White House during their convalescence," Conley wrote.
