A White House physician announced on Monday that President Donald Trump has tested negative for the coronavirus on consecutive days. This is the first time the White House has disclosed that the president's tests have come back negative since his diagnosis earlier this month.

Dr. Sean Conley released a brief memo just ahead of Trump's reelection campaign rally in Florida. In the memo, Conley revealed that the president's latest COVID-19 results came from an antigen test from Abbott Laboratories. Furthermore, he went on to claim that a slew of laboratory data confirmed that the virus isn't active in Trump's body.

The memo claims that Trump took multiple tests, including repeated antigen tests, that were taken in context along with various clinical and laboratory data such as PCR cycle threshold measurements, subgenomic RNA, viral load, and a continuing assessment of viral culture date, with all hinting at the absence of detectable viral replication. The memo did not reveal details about which consecutive days the president tested negative.

Trump announced earlier this month that he and the first lady Melania Trump had tested positive for the coronavirus, but the White House repeatedly evaded questions about the president's last negative test before his positive diagnosis, CNBC reported. Knowing when Trump last tested negative could offer important information regarding the time of his infection and who could have infected him.

Likewise, knowing when he last tested positive would also provide crucial details about whom the president may have exposed to the virus while he was contagious. After sharing his diagnosis, Trump, 74, was taken to the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on the same day.

After spending three days at the hospital, Trump returned to the White House, where he stayed until Monday before boarding Air Force One for an outdoor rally in Sanford, Florida. Following Trump's tweet about his positive diagnosis, several White House staffers and people who work there including press secretary Kayleigh McEnany, and members of the press have also tested positive for COVID-19.

Before testing positive for COVID-19, the president had hosted a gathering of a large group of supporters at the White House for announcing his latest Supreme Court nominee, Judge Amy Coney Barrett. Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Mike Lee of Utah, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, and several other Republican lawmakers who attended the event later tested positive.

Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Dr. Anthony Fauci told CBS News on Friday that the White House event served as a super-spreader. Trump has been waiting with bated breath to return to the campaign trail before the election against former vice president Joe Biden, 77, who tested negative for the coronavirus earlier this week.
