RUDY Giuliani has tested positive for coronavirus, according to President Donald Trump.
Trump tweeted on Sunday that his personal lawyer contracted Covid — weeks after Giuliani’s son tested positive for the deadly virus.
“.@RudyGiuliani, by far the greatest mayor in the history of NYC, and who has been working tirelessly exposing the most corrupt election (by far!) in the history of the USA, has tested positive for the China Virus,” Trump wrote.
“Get better soon Rudy, we will carry on!!!”
In November, Andrew Giuliani — a special assistant to the president and Giuliani’s son — announced he had Covid.
Andrew was apparently seen not wearing a mask at several functions, including a Rose Garden event and a news conference with top members of Trump’s legal team.
Another member of Trump’s legal team, Jenna Ellis, told Axios at the time that “the entire Giuliani-affiliated legal team was probably exposed.”
He tweeted last month: “I am experiencing mild symptoms, and am following all appropriate protocols, including being in quarantine and conducting contact tracing.”
It was around this time that at least four other people who worked in the White House complex tested positive.
The White House has experienced multiple outbreaks of the virus, including a Rose Garden event in September after which Trump announced his diagnosis.
Other White House staffers who have been infected in the past six weeks include First Lady Melania Trump, Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany, Trump senior advisers Stephen Miller and Hope Hicks, and the chiefs of staff to both the president and Vice President Mike Pence.
The president’s son, Barron, 14, also had Covid — but only for “like two seconds,” according to his dad.
Giuliani’s coronavirus diagnosis comes as the US reports more than 15million infections and over 288,000 virus-related deaths.
