White House senior adviser Stephen Miller said he had tested positive for Covid-19, the latest case of coronavirus reported among Donald Trump's inner circle since the Republican president announced he had the virus last week, Reuters reported.

“Over the last five days I have been working remotely and self-isolating, testing negative every day through yesterday,” Miller said in a statement. “Today, I tested positive for Covid-19 and am in quarantine.”

Trump returned to the White House a day earlier after three nights in a military hospital, urging Americans not to be afraid and not to let the coronavirus dominate their lives.
