(CNN) While President Donald Trump has spoken frequently about the coronavirus outbreak , first lady Melania Trump has kept a relatively low profile, which is different from how some former first ladies have handled past national crises. Melania Trump tweeted Sunday evening, encouraging her followers to practice "social distancing" and follow guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A March 18th campaign fundraiser in Beverly Hills, California, scheduled to be hosted by Trump, was canceled last week. The White House press secretary told CNN the move was due to "scheduling conflicts." The first lady did not travel to Mar-a-Lago last weekend, a White House official told CNN, choosing instead to remain in Washington.
