The president’s doctors had said Sunday he could be released as soon as Monday. The president is still on multiple treatment courses for COVID-19. He announced his diagnosis late last week.
On Monday, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany announced that she, too, has tested positive for COVID-19.
First Lady Melania Trump has been self-isolating at the White House.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
