Eleven people present during Donald Trump's debate with rival Joe Biden have caught coronavirus, according to officials. The city of Cleveland, Ohio, confirmed the figure after the President and First Lady Melania Trump tested positive for the virus.
It comes amid fears Covid-19 could have spread further at a $5 million campaign event Trump attended - after it is claimed he had been already been told a top aide had tested positive.
Reports claim Trump was told his adviser Hope Hicks had tested positive on Thursday morning, before his own diagnosis was confirmed on Friday morning.
Now a mounting tally of the President's close allies are falling ill with the virus, after a week of US Election campaign events.
