President Trump says he was tested for coronavirus, not yet aware of the results

During a press conference on Saturday, Trump revealed that he was tested for the coronavirus after declaring a state of emergency on Friday.

Trump also explained why he shook hands with people, when a reporter asked about it and the"mixed messages" he's been sending.

The president said he was trying to get out of the"natural reflex" of shaking hands"without thinking about it." Earlier in the conference, Trump expressed excitement regarding the stock market's bounce back following his press conference in the White House Rose Garden on Friday. He also said the bill passed by the House of Representatives would allow for free coronavirus testing for all Americans that require it, and includes paid sick and family leave for those that need it. That legislation is awaiting approval by the Senate.
