Ivanka Trump and Bill Barr posed with Australian politician who has coronavirus

Ivanka Trump and Attorney General Bill Barr posed for a photograph with Australian Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton days before he tested positive for coronavirus. 

The trio stood shoulder to shoulder in Washington DC on March 5 as part of a meeting between officials from the UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the US.  

The next day, she attended an event at Mar-a-Lago with her father and Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro, the same day that one of Bolsonaro’s aides tested positive for the virus. 

Senator Lindsey Graham has self-quarantined because he was at Mar-a-Lago at the same time as the infected aide Fabio Wajngarten, but the White House has not said whether Trump or his daughter Ivanka have been tested or taken extra precautions. 

Dutton confirmed on Friday morning, March 13 – a week after their meeting – that he had tested positive after returning to Australia. 

He has since been being treated in the hospital and the severity of his condition remains unknown. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is in isolation after his wife tested positive.

Trump has not addressed whether or not he has been tested since spending time with Bolsonaro. 

The White House said earlier this week that he had not.  

It is not known whether Ivanka or Barr, or any other officials who are not showing symptoms have been infected. 

As of Friday morning, there were more than 1,700 cases of coronavirus in the US and 41 people had died from it. 

The government has predicted that as many as 150million Americans will eventually become infected. 

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the White House coronavirus expert, said on Friday morning in an interview on Good Morning America that he did not want to comment on Trump’s condition or whether or not he should get a test. 

He said that if it were him, however, he likely would. 

‘I leave that to the president’s white house physician who is an extremely competent individual who I know well, and the decisions there were between what would be a potential patient and the physician,’ he said.

‘Likely I would, but I’m not sure. It depends on the circumstances. We should follow the guidelines of the CDC about when you are at a risk what you should do,’ he added. 

Fauci went on to say that the current state of crisis could last for up to eight weeks. 

Flights from Europe to the US are stopping at midnight on Friday. 

Americans who are overseas will be able to come home unless they too test positive for the virus in which case, according to comments made by the president, they will not be allowed to board planes.

A state of emergency has been declared in New York City, Broadway has shut down and large gatherings of more than 500 people have been banned. 

Businesses have been told they must operate at half their legal capacity – putting enormous strain on shift workers and small business owners, some of whom have been advised to shut up shop until the chaos subsides.  

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said on Thursday the situation may last for six months.
