At least 10 additional contacts have announced negative test results.
President Trump’s announcement Friday that he and the first lady, Melania Trump, had tested positive for the coronavirus sent government officials scrambling to determine who else might have been exposed. Two senators who attended a White House event last Saturday said they had tested positive, too.
Several other people who met with the president this week said they had since tested negative. But it can take several days for someone who has been exposed to the virus to develop symptoms or to test positive. Anyone tested within just a day or two after exposure is likely to receive a negative result, even if they are infected.
Here is a look at where Mr. Trump traveled and the people with whom he met in the days before his positive test.
Where the President Traveled
In addition to regular meetings and news conferences at the White House, Mr. Trump attended several large gatherings in the past week, including the first presidential debate in Cleveland and rallies in Pennsylvania and Minnesota. He went ahead with a round table and reception in New Jersey on Thursday after a close aide, Hope Hicks, tested positive for the virus.
