CORONAVIRUS: I’m expecting my test result – Trump
United States President, Donald Trump, said Saturday he had taken a coronavirus test, as the White House began protectively checking the temperature of anyone coming into close contact with him or Vice President Mike Pence.
Trump, who appeared at a White House news conference, told Americans he had yet to receive the results of his coronavirus test.
The President was seen Friday shaking hands all round as he gathered his coronavirus response team at the White House — a practice he said Saturday owed to long-time habit as a politician but which he said would have to change.

Trump said Friday he would most likely go for the coronavirus test after he had contacts with several members of a visiting Brazilian presidential delegation who had since tested positive for the virus.
The President told journalists he took the test on Friday night and expects the results in the next two days.
