I’ll be tested for COVID, declares US President Donald Trump

Sentinel Digital Desk

New York: US President Donald Trump has said that he will take the test for the novel coronavirus but did not reveal when or commit to making it public.

Pressed by a reporter who accused him on Friday of being “selfish” for not getting himself tested after having been seen in the company of someone who had been infected with the virus, Trump said that he will “most likely”.

But he added that it will not be a reaction to the selfish accusation made by the reporter.

“Not for that reason, but because I think I will do it anyway. Fairly soon.”

The President’s doctor Sean Conley later issued a memo that Trump, however, did not need a test or a quarantine. (IANS)
