President Trump will not be participating in live campaign events until further notice.

After the president tested positive for coronavirus on Friday, "all previously announced campaign events" where Trump was set to appear "are in the process of being moved to virtual events or are being temporarily postponed," the campaign announced. Events involving any members of the first family — first lady Melania Trump and Trump's children — are being "temporarily postponed" as well. But Vice President Mike Pence, who tested negative for COVID-19, "plans on resuming his scheduled campaign events."
