A message went around the world on Friday morning: Donald Trump tested positive for the corona virus - shortly before the US election.
How is the election campaign going on now?
Donald Trump was
infected
with the
corona
virus.
The
election campaign
continues.
Large events
with many people and
appearances without a mask
are likely to become fewer now.
Washington -
Donald Trump
has dealt with the
coronavirus
infected - and that in the middle of the election campaign for the US presidency.
The US is on the home stretch for the November 3rd election, in which Trump is running for a second term.
He competes against the Democrat
Joe Biden
.
The
corona
pandemic
, which is by no means under control in the USA, had turned the election campaign on its head anyway.
In the coming days, the
74-year-
old incumbent had planned numerous appearances, some of them large events.
Despite the pandemic, thousands of followers had taken part in such events in recent weeks.
As long as Donald
Trump is
in quarantine, future
events
are likely to be
canceled, or at least take place in another form.
Bitter for Trump, who otherwise benefits from the charisma of the charged events with his supporters.

physician Sean Conley

Donald and Melania Trump
are doing well.
"Rest assured that I expect the president to continue to perform his duties uninterruptedly while he recovers." If
Trump is
no longer in office, Vice President
Mike Pence will

In the

Joe Biden
's wearing masks

It remains to be seen whether Trump will put on a mask more often.
