President Donald Trump’s campaign manager Bill Stepien has tested positive for Covid-19.
Stepien, 42, received his test results on Friday evening and plans to quarantine until he recovers. He is said to have “mild flu-like symptoms.”
The development is another blow to Trump’s re-election effort.
President Trump himself has been hospitalized at a military hospital where he will remain for a few days.
