Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump said Friday he would "likely" receive a coronavirus test "fairly soon" even as he minimized the prospects of having contracted the virus from a Brazilian press aide who later tested positive. Earlier Friday, White House officials sprang into action soon after early rumors began to surface that Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro may have tested positive for coronavirus . The Brazilian Embassy in Washington said on Friday that Brazilian Chargé d'Affaires Nestor Forster tested positive for coronavirus. I can tell you that the White House Medical Unit has a very proactive response to biohazard threats after 9/11," said a source familiar with medical procedures at the White House. One White House official noted Trump is always technically "working from home" when he's at the White House and doesn't have any public plans to leave in the next few days.
