First lady Melania Trump said Friday morning that she, too, is experiencing “mild symptoms” of COVID-19.

“Thank you for the love you are sending our way,” Mrs. Trump tweeted shortly after 11 a.m. “I have mild symptoms but overall feeling good. I am looking forward to a speedy recovery.”

Mrs. Trump, 50, and President Trump learned late Thursday night that they tested positive. White House aide Hope Hicks contracted the disease earlier in the week.
