Melania Trump is providing an update on her health following her COVID-19 diagnosis late last week.
While reports have surfaced that President Donald Trump is recovering well and could soon be discharged from Walter Reed Medical Center, Melania has shared that she is also doing well.
“My family is grateful for all of the prayers & support! I am feeling good & will continue to rest at home,” Melania wrote on Twitter. “Thank you to medical staff & caretakers everywhere, & my continued prayers for those who are ill or have a family member impacted by the virus.”
The First Lady has been quarantining at the White House since learning of her positive test.
The coronavirus mainly comes from animals and a majority of those who were infected early either worked at or frequently visited the Huanan seafood wholesale market in Wuhan, according to The Guardian. The virus is similar to Severe acute respiratory syndrome (Sars) and Middle Eastern respiratory syndrome (Mers).
The Wuhan coronavirus is transmitted from person to person through “droplet transmission.” That means an infected person can pass the virus by sneezing or coughing on another person as well as by direct contact.
While a majority of the cases have been detected in the United States and China — with more than 7.44 million confirmed cases and 210,000 deaths in the United States — it has now reached many countries around the world. It has also been confirmed in Italy, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, and many other eastern countries.
