Washington: Donald Trump Jr, the eldest son of US President Donald Trump, tested positive for COVID-19, his spokesperson said on Friday.

“He has been completely asymptomatic so far and is following all medically recommended COVID-19 guidelines,” the spokesman added.

Trump Jr had campaigned extensively across the country in support of his father.
