当地时间5月7日，美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）报道称特朗普的一名贴身工作人员确诊新冠肺炎。

该工作人员隶属美国海军，为白宫精英部队的成员之一，需要和特朗普及“第一家庭”近距离接触。

The valets are members of an elite military unit dedicated to the White House and often work very close to the President and first family.

报道称，该工作人员在6日上午出现新冠肺炎症状，并在当晚进行测试。为了确保安全，特朗普随即在白宫医务人员的协助下再次接受新冠病毒测试。

白宫随后发表声明确认了这一消息。

白宫新闻秘书霍根·吉德利在声明中称，随后，特朗普和副总统彭斯都接受了新冠病毒检测，结果呈阴性，他们仍然身体健康。

"The President and the Vice President have since tested negative for the virus and they remain in great health."

特朗普回应：将每天接受检测

据CNN报道，美国总统特朗普在回应其贴身工作人员感染新冠病毒一事时表示，他与这名男子“几乎没有私人接触”，并形容这种情况“有点奇怪”。

Trump said he'd had "very little personal contact" with the man, a US military member, who tested positive. He described the situation as "a little bit strange."

特朗普表示，此后他将每天接受新冠病毒检测。

President Trump says he'll be tested daily for coronavirus after one of his valets tested positive for Covid-19.

之前，特朗普和白宫工作人员每周检测一次。他表示，从检测到确诊之间“有很多时间错过了”，“在接受检测和几天后的这段时间里会发生什么?”

"What happens in between when you got tested and just a couple of days later?" he asked, saying there were "a number of days missed" between when the valet was last tested and when he discovered he had coronavirus.
