Ronna McDaniel, the chair of the Republican National Committee, tested positive for the coronavirus on Wednesday, The New York Times reports.

McDaniel appeared on Fox News on Thursday where she did not disclose the diagnosis.

Hours after it was announced that advisor to President Trump, Hope Hicks tested positive, Trump announced that he and the first lady also tested positive for COVID-19.

Trump attended a fundraiser at his golf resort in New Jersey Thursday afternoon, where one attendee said the president came in contact with about 100 people, the Times reports.

Neither Hicks nor McDaniel publicly announced their diagnoses -- the news was broken by reporters.

“After a member of her family tested positive for COVID-19, the Chairwoman [McDaniel] was tested for the virus. On Wednesday afternoon, she got confirmation she was COVID-19 positive. She has been at her home in Michigan since last Saturday," Steve Guest, Rapid Response Director of the Republican National Committee, wrote in an email to KNX.
