A member of the US Navy detailed to the White House who serves a personal valet to President Donald Trump has tested positive for COVID-19, CNN reported on Thursday.

The White House confirmed to CNN that the service member had tested positive and both Trump and Vice President Mike Pence had been tested again as a precaution, with both testing negative.

"We were recently notified by the White House Medical Unit that a member of the United States Military, who works on the White House campus, has tested positive for Coronavirus," deputy White House press secretary Hogan Gidley said in a statement to CNN. "The President and the Vice President have since tested negative for the virus and they remain in great health."

CNN reported that Trump was "upset" when he learned of the valet testing positive, and that both he and Pence are tested weekly with Abbott rapid result test devices.
