Donald Trump and Joe Biden
US President Donald Trump may have contracted the coronavirus on the night of a debate with Democratic rival Joe Biden. The possible time of infection of the US leader was revealed by CNN.
It is assumed that the American leader contracted the infection from his assistant Hope Hicks. According to the TV company, she developed symptoms on the evening of September 30. However, since the incubation period after infection can be up to 48 hours, the helper could be a carrier of the infection the day before. Since she attended the debate in Ohio on September 29, it is likely that the president contracted the coronavirus there.
CNN recalled that members of the Trump team did not wear masks, which could lead to the spread of infection. At the same time, during the debates, Trump and Biden observed a social distance and refused to shake hands: in this regard, the president's rival from the Democrats is probably safe.
Trump revealed that he contracted the coronavirus on October 2 on his Twitter. He isolated himself after one of his closest advisers, Hope Hicks, was diagnosed with the coronavirus.
Trump has already refused to transfer his powers to US Vice President Mike Pence, doctors believe that he will cope with the duties.
