The diagnosis comes just one month before the US election on the 3rd of November.

Donald Trump has become the 8th world leader to test positive for Covid-19.

The US President tweeted the news this morning and said that his wife Melania has also been infected.

Both are said to be asymptomatic with the First Lady confirming that they are both feeling good.

The positive tests come after it was confirmed that White House Advisor Hope Hicks has the virus.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told reporters he's also been checked as a precaution.

Donald Trump is the oldest President to hold the office in US history and despite his doctor saying he is well and will continue his duties, lung specialist Dr Vin Gupta says there are serious concerns.

The news comes after Donald Trump has regularly played down the threat posed by the virus, most recently at the Presidential debate earlier this week when he made fun of his rival Joe Biden over wearing a mask.
