[Asia Economy Reporter Seungjin Lee] Donald Trump Jr. (42), the eldest son of U.S. President Donald Trump who tested positive for the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), said, "It could be a false positive result."

On the 20th (local time), Trump Jr. posted a video on his Instagram saying, "I have no symptoms at all, but I will follow the related guidelines while self-isolating."

In the video, seemingly addressing core supporters of President Trump who oppose regulations, he said, "I think I will have a few days to be alone. There are plenty of guns to clean until I get bored."

Trump Jr. emphasized in the video, "It could be that I tested false positive, or maybe not," and stressed that although he might not be infected with COVID-19, he is following quarantine guidelines to be cautious. He also asked for recommendations on books or Netflix content.

Trump Jr. is known to be interested in entering politics following in his father's footsteps. After this U.S. presidential election, he has been actively supporting his father's refusal to concede by claiming election fraud.

Among President Trump's family, four people including Trump Jr. have contracted COVID-19. President Trump was infected in October, recovered after hospitalization, and his wife Melania and youngest son Barron also tested positive consecutively.

On the 21st, President Trump said on Twitter, "My son is doing very well. Thank you."
