He is currently employed as a special assistant to President Donald Trump. Giuliani shared the diagnosis on Twitter and confirmed he will begin a quarantine.
“This morning, I tested positive for COVID-19. I am experiencing mild symptoms, and am following all appropriate protocols, including being in quarantine and conducting contact tracing,” he wrote on social media.
In text message communication with Politico he stated, “not heard from anyone else who has tested positive at this point.”
His father and Trump’s personal lawyer, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani held a crowded press conference on Thursday where the younger Giuliani was in attendance. According to NBC News, a campaign official claimed Andrew wore a mask during the event and remained seated in the audience.
The press event featured the senior Giuliani speaking on POTUS’ allegations of voter fraud from the Republican National Committee headquarters. As theGrio reported, the lawyer spoke to the crowd as dark liquid dripped from his head down to his face. The liquid, presumably hair dye, was dabbed way with a handkerchief.
Andrew is the latest person with direct connections to the White House to test positive for COVID-19. After the President and First Lady Melania Trump were diagnosed, members of the White House household staff also contracted coronavirus. theGrio reported shortly after the husband and wife revealed their results, two members of the White House housekeeping staff tested positive, multiple senior officials, and five other staffers at the time.
Members of the Secret Service also reportedly spread COVID-19. According to theGrio about 10% of all Secret Service officers, have either tested positive for coronavirus or been exposed to an infected person. These cases likely originate from rallies held by Trump while campaigning for the 2020 presidential election.
