Quoting a source familiar to Trump's campaign schedule, CNN said that the first lady will not give any solo remarks at Pennsylvania event and neither does she have any upcoming travels or appearances related to the US election 2020 campaign.

Melania Trump wrote, “I was very fortunate as my diagnosis came with minimal symptoms, though they hit me all at once and it seemed to be a roller coaster of symptoms in the days after”.

She added that she had body aches, headaches and was extremely tired. Unlike her husband, Melania did not go to the hospital. In the essay, she wrote that she did not opt for the same course as the President.
