[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Jae-hee] Two additional campaign staff members who attended President Donald Trump's election rally have tested positive for the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).

Including the six campaign staff members who tested positive before the rally last week, the total number has increased to eight.

On the 22nd (local time), Trump's presidential campaign announced that two campaign staff members who attended the rally held on the 20th in Tulsa, Oklahoma, tested positive for COVID-19 and have been quarantined.

The campaign added that although they attended the rally, they wore masks throughout the event.

Originally, Trump's election rally held in Tulsa was conducted in an indoor gymnasium packed with crowds, raising concerns about the spread of COVID-19.

It was reported that fewer than 6,200 people gathered in a venue with a capacity of 19,000, but most attendees did not wear masks and did not maintain special distancing while taking their seats.
