Hope Hicks, one of President Donald Trump’s closest aides, has tested positive for the coronavirus, NBC News reported, citing a source close to the Trump campaign.
Hicks had traveled with the president to the debate Wednesday night in Cleveland.
Hicks is among the highest-ranking members in Trump’s orbit to have reportedly tested positive for the coronavirus.
In July, Trump’s national security advisor, Robert O’Brien, tested positive for the coronavirus. At the time, the White House said that O’Brien was experiencing “mild symptoms” and was “self-isolating and working from a secure location off-site.”
“There is no risk of exposure to the President or the Vice President. The work of the National Security Council continues uninterrupted,” the White House said in a July statement.
Other administration officials have previously been diagnosed with the coronavirus.
In May, Vice President Mike Pence’s press secretary, Katie Miller, tested positive for Covid-19 and as well as a personal valet for Trump, who is responsible for serving the president his meals.
Hicks’ positive test was first reported by Bloomberg News, which cited people familiar with the matter. The Associated Press also reported it, citing an official.
