CORONAVIRUS UPDATES:A USA millitary aide linked to President Donald Trump test positive for Coronavirus.
A United states military aide who works at the White House, tested positive for coronavirus, the White House reported on Thursday 7 but President Donald Trump has tested negative, an official confirmed the news.
The incidence comes after Trump reversed course on winding down the White House coronavirus task force, saying he had "no idea" how "popular" and "respected" it had become, and teased that his administration will be adding a few more members to the panel by next week, whom he suggested they will provide economic expertise on "opening our country."
The announcement was made ahead of another dire loss and need of jobs, claims reported on Thursday morning. More than 33 million Americans who had now filed for unemployment since the deadly pandemic opened its doors to businesses and forced most Americans to stay home
.
As more states begin to ease restrictions, even as the country's infection rate continues to climb, many Americans grapple with uncertainty, faced with the fearful choice between life and livelihood.
When asked about the development in an Oval Office photo op, President Trump said he's had "very little contact" with the infected individual but confirmed he knows him and added that he's a "good person."
Vice President Mike Pence said he and the president will be tested "every day" moving forward, as will the people they come in contact with.
