此前，美国总统特朗普的一名私人助理也被证实检测呈阳性。

Mr Trump shrugged of the White House spread, saying it was "basically one person" who had contracted the virus and that people who were in contact had since tested negative.

特朗普对于新冠病毒在白宫的传播很不在意，他说，“基本上只有一个人”感染了病毒，其接触者之后检测都是阴性。

Mr Trump said more funds would be made available to increase testing in states.

特朗普表示，将提供更多的资金来增加各州的检测数量。

The government is to provide $11bn to states to meet testing goals this month. States were asked how many tests they hope to conduct in May, and will be given supplies to match the targets. Senior White House officials who come into regular contact with Mr Trump are currently being tested daily for the coronavirus.

联邦政府将在本月向各州提供110亿美元 Pressed by journalists on when all Americans could expect to have access to testing, Mr Trump said: "If someone wants to be tested right now they will be able to be tested". The claim is heavily disputed.

当记者追问何时有望对所有美国人进行检测时，特朗普表示：“如果有人现在就想接受检测，他们就能够接受检测。”这种说法存在严重争议。

For weeks, Mr Trump has sought to encourage an easing of lockdown measures throughout the US, arguing it was time to get back to work amid dire economic news.
