Washington: US First Lady Melania Trump said her son Barron Trump (14) tested positive for Covid- 19, but exhibited no symptoms. Luckily he is a strong teenager and exhibited no symptoms, said Melania Trump in a statement.

Donald Trump told a rally in Des Moines, Iowa, that Barron “is just fine now” and said it was an example of why schools should reopen. “I don’t even think he knew he had it, because they’re young and their immune systems are strong and they fight it off,” Trump said. “Get the kids back to school,” he said. Melania Trump said her symptoms were “minimal” and that she hoped to resume her duties as first lady “as soon as I can.”

She also said “I experienced body aches, a cough and headaches, and felt extremely tired most of the time”. “I chose to go a more natural route in terms of medicine, opting more for vitamins and healthy food,” she said. “In one way I was glad the three of us went through this at the same time so we could take care of one another and spend time together,” Melania Trump said.
