(Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday said he and his wife Melania had tested positive for COVID-19 and were going into quarantine.

Trump, 74, is experiencing mild symptoms, the White House said. The most common symptoms of the disease are cough, fever and sore throat. Trump's gender, age and weight make him more vulnerable to developing severe COVID-19, and give him a notional risk of around 4% of dying from it, health experts said.
