President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump have tested positive for the coronavirus just days after one of his closest advisers who also had COVID-19 traveled with him aboard Air Force One.

Trump announced the diagnosis in a tweet. In a statement dated Oct. 1, 2020, Dr. Sean Conley, physician to the president, confirmed the diagnosis.

“The President and First Lady are both well at this time, and they plan to remain at home within the White House during their convalescence,” Conley stated.

How has the world reacted? Who else has tested positive in the White House? And what does this mean for the election? Here's what we know so far.

Having tested positive for the virus and therefore self-isolating, the Trumps have been forced to cancel all of their upcoming engagements. The future of Trump’s planned rallies remains uncertain with the president unlikely to be able to attend events in Wisconsin, Florida and Arizona, the Express reported. It is also unclear whether Trump’s positive test will prevent him from attending the second presidential debate, set to take place on Oct. 15 in Miami, Florida.

Global markets dropped in the wake of the announcement of Trump’s positive test, with U.S. shares and oil prices sinking in Asia trading hours.

With the news breaking early Friday morning, most world leaders – at the time of writing – had not yet responded publicly to the news. U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who has recovered from COVID-19 after falling seriously ill, tweeted: “My best wishes to president Trump and the first lady. Hope they both have a speedy recovery from coronavirus.”

The Trumps are not the first in the White House to test positive for COVID-19 – they themselves took tests after one of Trump's closest aides Hope Hicks was confirmed to have contracted the virus. While waiting for the results of his test following Hicks’ diagnosis, Trump said he had found it difficult to socially distance while meeting members of the armed forces.

He told Fox News: “It’s very hard when you’re with soldiers, when you’re with airmen, when you’re with the marines, and with the police officers, I’m with them so much."
