[Global Network Express] A US official confirmed to CNN on the 5th that the first lady Melania Trump has been recuperating and recovering in the White House after contracting the new crown virus and has no plans to leave the White House for the time being.
CNN said that Melania’s decision is in sharp contrast with her husband, President Trump.
On the 4th local time, Trump, who was in the hospital for treatment, left the Walter Reed Medical Center in a special car and waved to supporters outside the hospital in the car.
This move drew some criticism.
The U.S. official told CNN, “Melania is aware of the dangers of the new crown virus and she will not risk putting others under the virus.” The official said that six months ago, the first lady decided to reduce travel and Public events, because she is aware of the number of people involved in her activities, and she does not want to endanger their health and her own health.
The National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) first reported Melania's decision not to leave the White House.
Trump was sent to the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland for treatment on the evening of the 2nd Eastern Time.
In the early hours of the same day, Trump confirmed that he and his wife Melania were infected with the new crown virus.
