AKIPRESS.COM - Donald Trump is "very concerned" about coming into contact with people who have contracted the coronavirus, according to a US media report.

According to CNN, the US president is worried about having exposure to anyone later diagnosed with COVID-19.

Last weekend, Mr Trump was pictured standing shoulder to shoulder with Fábio Wajngarten, who serves as communications chief for Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.

Days later, Mr Wajngarten confirmed he had tested positive for the coronavirus - prompting Mr Trump to insist that he was not concerned.

Speaking to reporters at the White House, the US president had said: "We had dinner in Florida at Mar-a-Lago with the entire delegation, but we did nothing very unusual.

"We sat next to each other for a period of time. I am not concerned."
