Trump 'not concerned at all' after CPAC guest tests positive for COVID-19

"No, I'm not concerned at all. No, I'm not. We've done a great job" and "we'll have tremendous rallies" – that was the response from U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday to the news that an attendee at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) had tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

Trump insisted he wasn't concerned that the virus was getting closer to the White House, despite both the president and Vice President Mike Pence having attended the conservative conference in late February.  

Just a few hours after Trump made the remarks, it was confirmed that a man in his 50s who lives in Washington, D.C. had tested positive for the virus.
