WASHINGTON—President Trump and first lady Melania Trump have tested positive for Covid-19, the president tweeted, hours after confirming that Hope Hicks, a top adviser who traveled with him earlier this week, had tested positive for the virus.

“We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately,” Mr. Trump tweeted. “We will get through this TOGETHER!”

White House physician Sean Conley said in a memo released by the White House early Friday that the president and first lady were both “well at this time” and planned to remain at the White House while they recovered. He said the White House medical team would “maintain a vigilant watch.”

The president’s infection with a virus that has infected more than 7.3 million people in the U.S. is an unprecedented situation that will upend the final month of the 2020 campaign. The development means the president will need to cancel in-person events in the coming weeks, possibly including the next debate against Democrat Joe Biden on Oct. 15 in Miami.
