Health officials urge people who attended Trump rally to get tested for coronavirus

Raleigh, N.C. — After President Donald Trump and several members of his staff were infected with coronavirus, health officials say anyone who attended recent events in North Carolina featuring members of Trump's family should get tested for the virus.

Ivanka Trump, the president's daughter, was in the Charlotte area on Thursday, where she visited three businesses in Belmont. All three were closed Friday for disinfecting, even though Ivanka Trump and her husband both tested negative for the virus.

Daughter-in-law Lara Trump was in Wake County on Monday for a campaign rally attended by about 200 people – most of whom didn't wear masks or practice social distancing.

A spokesperson for Lara Trump tweeted late Friday that both she and her husband, Eric Trump, have tested negative for the virus.
