[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Hyunjin] As news broke that U.S. President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump tested positive for COVID-19, world leaders who had previously contracted the virus sent messages of support.

On the 2nd (local time), according to the daily newspaper The Guardian, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson wrote on Twitter, "I hope President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump both recover quickly from COVID-19."

Prime Minister Johnson was the first major world leader to test positive for COVID-19 last March. He was hospitalized at the time, his condition worsened and he was moved to the intensive care unit, but he improved and was discharged. It took about a month from his diagnosis to returning to work.

Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez also tweeted on the same day, "I wish President Trump and First Lady Melania a speedy recovery," adding, "I believe they will overcome this disease quickly." President Hernandez tested positive for COVID-19 in June, was hospitalized after his condition worsened within a day, and was discharged after about two weeks of treatment.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also wrote on his Twitter, along with his wife Sophie Gr?goire Trudeau, "We hope President Trump and the First Lady recover fully from this virus soon." Mrs. Gr?goire Trudeau tested positive for COVID-19 last March.

The Guatemalan government also expressed on Twitter, "We wish President Trump and First Lady Melania a speedy recovery." Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei tested positive for COVID-19 on the 18th and is currently undergoing treatment. Although classified as a high-risk patient due to underlying conditions such as hypertension and heart disease, the Guatemalan government stated that he is now almost fully recovered.
