[Asia Economy New York=Correspondent Baek Jong-min] Following U.S. President Donald Trump, his wife Melania Trump has directly revealed that she is experiencing mild symptoms of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19). President Trump has been canceling scheduled events one after another and maintaining silence.

On the 2nd (local time), Melania Trump stated on Twitter, "I am experiencing mild symptoms but overall feeling good. I expect a speedy recovery."

Earlier, White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows claimed that President Trump was showing mild symptoms such as coughing and fever but was conducting his duties normally.

Contrary to Meadows' remarks, President Trump canceled scheduled events and has not been active on Twitter on this day.

According to U.S. media, President Trump canceled a campaign rally scheduled in Florida and a phone call related to COVID-19 support for the elderly, delegating these to Vice President Mike Pence. It is also reported that Vice President Pence took over a call with New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.

Since revealing early this morning that he tested positive for COVID-19, President Trump has not tweeted for more than 12 hours, increasing concerns about his health.

On this day, the Trump re-election campaign announced that Vice President Pence would proceed with scheduled events, but President Trump's schedule would be changed to online for the time being.

Meanwhile, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, who tested negative for COVID-19, decided to proceed with a campaign rally in Michigan as planned.
