US President Donald Trump has decided that he will be tested daily for the coronavirus after one of his valets tested positive for the deadly disease.
A military aide of Trump, whom the White House officials described as a personal valet, tested positive for coronavirus.
The valet, a member of the military, would have had very close contact with Trump, and assisted him with his food, clothes and other personal needs, CBS News reported.
Trump, however, denied having close contact with the sick valet.
"I've had very little personal contact with this gentleman," Trump told reporters on Thursday in the Oval Office. "I know who he is, good person, but I've had very little contact."
"We're all warriors together," he said. "I am, you are, we all are."
