US President Donald Trump said in a tweet on Twitter that he is looking forward to participating in the second debate with Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, scheduled for the 15th of this month in Miami, while the Pentagon announced that its senior leaders entered a quarantine after it was confirmed that a military commander was injured Coronavirus.
In another tweet, Trump said that he feels much better, referring to his infection with the Corona virus days ago, after which he left Walter Reed Military Hospital, where he received treatment.
Ghost town
In the same context, American media said that new infections with the virus were recorded among the White House workers, including a member of the Media Office.
The New York Times likened the White House to a ghost town after many of its employees stayed home.
For its part, the Ministry of Defense stated that the Corona tests that the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley, and the members of the Authority who had had contact with had been negative.
Milly and other leaders entered quarantine after a senior official was infected with the virus, and CNN quoted a source it described as confirming that at least one of the military personnel directly assigned to accompany the US President was infected with the Corona virus.
On Tuesday, Pentagon officials said that senior US military commanders would enter a self-quarantine after tests showed that the deputy commander of the Coast Guard forces had been infected with the Corona virus.
The Coast Guard revealed earlier Tuesday that tests had tested positive for Rear Admiral Charles Ray, deputy Coast Guard commander, on Monday.
Ray attended a meeting last week with Army leaders, including General Mark Milley.
I am looking forward to debate
On the other hand, and in a brief health bulletin distributed Tuesday, Sean Conley, Trump's doctor, confirmed that the US President had "no symptoms" of Corona virus, the day after his return to the White House after spending 3 days in the hospital.
Conley added that Trump "spent a quiet first night (at the White House), and today (Tuesday) did not show any symptoms he had," adding that his health is "generally very good."
The US President tweeted, Tuesday, saying, “I feel in good health,” stressing that he wanted - despite his infection with the Corona virus - that the next presidential debate be held with his Democratic rival, Joe Biden.
"I'm looking forward to the debate on the evening of Thursday 15 October in Miami, it will be great," he wrote in another tweet.
Less than a month before the presidential elections in the face of his Democratic opponent, Trump is betting on the card of the strong leader who defeated the virus and asked Americans "not to let the virus control their lives", and intensified tweets and videos.
This speech sparked severe criticism in the medical community, with doubts about its success in delivering the message in a country where the number of deaths exceeded 210,000.
