Rudu Giuliani is being treated for COVID-19 at the Medstar Georgetown University Hospital in Washington DC.President Donald Trump's personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, has tested positive for Covid-19. Giuliani, 76, was admitted to the Medstar Georgetown University Hospital in Washington DC on Sunday, according to US media reports. “@RudyGiuliani, by far the greatest mayor in the history of NYC, and who has been working tirelessly exposing the most corrupt election (by far!) in the history of the USA, has tested positive for the China Virus. Get better soon Rudy, we will carry on!!!,” Trump tweeted. It remains unclear if Giuliani is experiencing symptoms. BBC reported that his son, Andrew Giuliani, who works at the White House and tested positive for the virus last month, tweeted that his father was "resting, getting great care and feeling well".
