WASHINGTON — An Australian government official who met last week with President Donald Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, and Attorney William General William Barr and other Trump aides has tested positive for the coronavirus.
“This morning I woke up with a temperature and sore throat," Minister for Home Affairs Peter Dutton said in a statement on Twitter on Friday morning. "I immediately contacted the Queensland Department of Health and was subsequently tested for COVID-19. I was advised by Queensland Health this afternoon that the test had returned positive.”
Dutton added that it’s the policy of the health department that anyone who tests positive must be admitted into the hospital, which he said he complied with.

“I feel fine and will provide an update in due course,” he said.
Dutton’s positive test comes nine days after he said he met with Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, Barr and other officials during a trip to the U.S. A day after the meeting, Dutton posted a photo on Twitter showing him standing with them and with Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway.
This comes after the White House said Thursday that it was aware of public reports that a member of the Brazilian delegation that visited Mar-a-Lago last weekend tested positive for COVID-19.
“Both the President and Vice President had almost no interactions with the individual who tested positive and do not require being tested at this time,” White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said of the Brazilian official.
The White House medical unit and the U.S. Secret Service have been “working closely with various agencies to ensure every precaution is taken to keep the First & Second Families, and all White House staff healthy," Grisham said.
