White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham said that President Donald Trump has not been tested for COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus.

“The President has not received COVID-19 testing because he has neither had prolonged close contact with any known confirmed COVID-19 patients nor does he have any symptoms. President Trump remains in excellent health, and his physician will continue to closely monitor him,” she said in a statement released late Monday.
