Spokeswoman to American President Donald Trump, Stephanie Grisham, has said that the president does not need testing for coronavirus despite meeting with an aide to Brazilian President, Jair Bolsonaro, who later tested positive for coronavirus.
According to a statement signed by Grisham, there was hardly a contact between Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and the infected aide. She added that there is no indication under government guidelines to test patients without symptoms.
