US President Donald Trump, who was ignoring the COVID-19 quarantine guidelines, was eventually tested positive for COVID-19.



President Trump wrote on Twitter on the 2nd local time, "Tonight Melania and I were tested positive for Corona 19. We will immediately begin the quarantine and recovery process. We will overcome this'together'."



He was tested for Corona 19 with Ms. Melania when Assistant Adviser Hope Hicks, who was close to him, tested positive for Corona 19 the day before, and he was confirmed on this day.



President Trump underestimated the risk of COVID-19 and refused to wear a mask.



From the very beginning of the outbreak of Corona 19, he has been on the cutting board by making comments such as "a type of cold" or "in the United States, tens of thousands of people die from cold every year.



Recently, it has been criticized for ignoring quarantine guidelines and forcing a large-scale indoor campaign.



On the 13th of last month, President Trump broke the quarantine guidelines banning meetings of 50 or more people in a warehouse owned by a heavy equipment manufacturer in Henderson, Nevada, and conducted an indoor campaign with thousands in attendance.



Many of the supporters who attended the campaign were criticized for not wearing masks and not keeping people apart.



Earlier, in August, the Republican presidential candidate acceptance speech event did not comply with the quarantine guidelines.



It was pointed out that'there is no social distancing here' when most of the event attendees communicated in a narrow space where their bodies touch each other without wearing masks, or go back and forth through narrow passages where bodies bump into each other.



President Trump is a representative figure who refused to wear a mask.



Not only did he appear without a mask on the official scene, he did not recommend wearing a mask to supporters gathered at the campaign.



President Trump wore a mask for the first time in July, four months after the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak as a'pandemic', and then suddenly changed his attitude, saying, "Wearing a mask is patriotic."
