U.S. President Donald Trump's youngest son Barron Trump had COVID-19 with no symptoms and now tests negative, first lady Melania Trump posted a family health update on Wednesday, reported Xinhua.

"It was two weeks ago when I received the diagnosis that so many Americans across our country and the world had already received - I tested positive for COVID-19. To make matters worse, my husband, and our nation's Commander-in-Chief, received the same news," she said.

"Naturally my mind went immediately to our son. To our great relief he tested negative, but again, as so many parents have thought over the past several months, I couldn't help but think 'what about tomorrow or the next day?' My fear came true when he was tested again and it came up positive. Luckily he is a strong teenager and exhibited no symptoms."

"He has since tested negative," the first lady said of her 14-year-old son.
