(CNN)Hope Hicks, one of President Donald Trump's top aides, has tested positive for coronavirus, three sources told CNN on Thursday.
She traveled with the President multiple times recently, including to the debate in Cleveland on Tuesday, and was seen boarding Marine One on Wednesday as Trump was heading to a campaign rally in Minnesota.
CNN has reached out to Hicks for comment.
"The President takes the health and safety of himself and everyone who works in support of him and the American people very seriously," White House spokesman Judd Deere told CNN in a statement when asked about the level of contact between Hicks and Trump.
The White House made no mention of Hicks by name, nor did it confirm she had tested positive.
"White House Operations collaborates with the Physician to the President and the White House Military Office to ensure all plans and procedures incorporate current CDC guidance and best practices for limiting COVID-19 exposure to the greatest extent possible both on complex and when the President is traveling," Deere added.

He hasn't caught it so far, even without the mask.
He'll be fine, the President gets the best treatment if so.

Flu and Covid-19 are similar for people in Hope Hick's age range.

Well, I think Trump is trying to project a tough guy image but viruses don't care how tough you are. He shouldn't tempt fate.
So? What of it? Live your own life and worry about yours.

Apparently, Trump was recently tested and may have to self quarantine with Melania.

Or it's a false positive arranged to make him quarantine so Biden has a way out of future debates without being the one to back out.
