President Donald Trump said early Friday that he and first lady Melania Trump have tested positive for COVID-19, just a month before the US presidential election.

"Tonight, [Melania] and I tested positive for COVID-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately," Trump tweeted just before 1 a.m. "We will get through this TOGETHER!"

The diagnosis marks a devastating blow for a president who has been trying to convince the American public that the worst of the pandemic is behind them. Trump is 74 years old, putting him at higher risk of serious complications from a virus that has infected more than 7 million people nationwide.

Since the early days of the pandemic, Trump has refused to follow basic public health guidelines — including those issued by his own administration — such as wearing masks in public and practicing social distancing. Instead, he has continued to hold campaign rallies that draw thousands of supporters.

Trump has consistently played down concerns about being personally vulnerable, even after White House staff and allies tested positive for COVID-19. "I felt no vulnerability whatsoever," he told reporters back in May.

Trump is far from the first world leader to test positive for the virus, which previously infected Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who spent a week in the hospital, including three nights in intensive care. Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi was also hospitalized last month while fighting what he called a "hellish" case of COVID-19.
