Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) has tested positive for COVID-19, he announced Saturday, making him the latest official in President Trump’s orbit to contract the virus.
“I just received word that I am positive for COVID-19. I want to thank all of my friends and colleagues who have reached out to ask how I was feeling in the last day or two,” Christie tweeted. “I will be receiving medical attention today and will keep the necessary folks apprised of my condition.”

Christie was at the White House last Saturday for Trump’s announcement that he was nominating Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. The ex-governor was spotted interacting closely with others in the Rose Garden without a mask.
In the week since, Trump, first lady Melania Trump, Sens. Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), and former White House counselor Kellyanne Conway have all tested positive for the coronavirus that causes COVID-19. All five were also at the Rose Garden ceremony, which was followed by an indoor reception.

Add to the positive list Chris Christie, who is at serious risk. What a fiasco. https://t.co/98BCjJW102

When you see things like this (and read reports of general White House indifference to basic safety measures) then the events of the last 48 hours seem less "crazy" and more "inevitable." What a breathtaking contrast to the way so many millions of Americans have lived their lives https://t.co/bokKHhVm4D

Overweight and asthmatic. Another high risk Trump cult member deliberately putting himself in danger. Forgive me if I have no sympathy for you and your ilk.
