President Donald Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr, has tested positive for coronavirus.
The 42-year-old tested positive earlier this week and is currently isolating.
“Don tested positive at the start of the week and has been quarantining out at his cabin since the result,” a spokesperson for Trump Jr said in a statement.
“He’s been completely asymptomatic so far and is following all medically recommended COVID-19 guidelines.”
Trump Jr is now part of a growing number of close presidential aides who have been infected with the virus, including Mr Trump himself.
On Friday, Rudy Giuliani’s son Andrew Giuliani, another White House aide, announced on Twitter he had tested positive.
Several of vice president Mike Pence’s aides have been infected, including his press secretary and chief of staff. Mr Pence himself has not been infected.
The coronavirus pandemic has been surging around the US, with daily new cases regularly topping 150,000 since last week. More than 250,000 Americans have died from the virus.
