 Trump timeline: President attended fundraiser after aide tested positive for coronavirus

In addition to White House activities, Donald Trump travelled to Ohio, Minnesota and New Jersey.

With just a month to go until the election, U.S. President Donald Trump had a busy schedule during the week the coronavirus hit home with him. Trump tweeted early Friday that he and his wife, Melania Trump, had tested positive for the coronavirus.

Here is a look at his activities over the past week:

Monday:

Trump surveys a truck produced by Lordstown Motors on the White House South Lawn at an event attended by two members of Congress and three representatives from the Lordstown, Ohio manufacturer.

Trump holds a Rose Garden event to announce an administration effort to distribute millions of coronavirus test kits to states. The event is attended by administration officials including Vice-President Mike Pence, members of Congress and state officials.

Tuesday

Trump travels to Cleveland for a 90-minute presidential debate against Democratic rival Joe Biden. The two men are both tested ahead of the debate and stand behind lecterns positioned a good distance from one another. They do not wear masks during the faceoff. During the debate Trump mocks Biden for his frequent wearing of masks.

White House aide Hope Hicks is part of a large entourage that travels to Ohio with Trump aboard Air Force One for the debate, including members of the Trump family. Trump's adult children and senior staff do not wear masks during the debate, violating host rules.

Wednesday

Trump travels to Minnesota for a fundraiser at a private home in suburban Minneapolis and an outdoor rally in Duluth.

Hicks is among the White House aides who accompany Trump on the trip. She feels unwell on the return trip and isolates herself aboard Air Force One.

B]Thursday

Hicks tests positive for the coronavirus.

Trump flies to his Bedminster resort in New Jersey for a private fundraiser. Several aides who were in proximity to Hicks scrap plans to accompany Trump.

Trump announces in an evening interview on Fox News that he and his wife are being tested for the coronavirus. He later tweets that they will "begin our quarantine process!"

Friday

Trump tweets shortly before 1 a.m. that he and his wife have tested positive for the virus and "will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately."

Dr. Sean Conley, physician to the president, releases a statement that the president and his wife "are both well at this time, and they plan to remain at home within the White House during their convalescence."

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy urges those who attended the fundraiser the previous day to take precautions, including quarantining and getting tested.
