Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago partially closed due to coronavirus outbreak
- A ‘section of the club’ was affected and some workers were quarantined
- The news was confirmed by a receptionist, but it was not clear if the former US president’s family was affected
Former US president Donald Trump’s Palm Beach, Florida, club has been partially closed because of a Covid-19 outbreak.
That’s according to several people familiar with the situation, including a club member who received a phone call telling them about the closure on Friday. A receptionist at the Mar-a-Lago club confirmed the news, saying it was closed until further notice, but declined to comment further.
A person familiar with club operations said that, out of an abundance of caution, they had “partially closed” a “section of the club” for a short period of time and quarantined some of its workers.
The people spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to discuss the situation by name. The number of cases, what portions of the club were closed or how it was affecting the former first family weren’t immediately clear.
