United State’s President, Donald Trump, on Sunday confirmed that his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani and former Mayor of New York, tested positive for coronavirus.

Trump made the confirmation in a tweet on Sunday.

He, however, did not state if the 76-year-old, was experiencing symptoms of the virus.

He wrote, “@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!!!,”

The U.S is currently experiencing a second wave of COVID-19 pandemic and has recorded no fewer than 14.6 million cases and 280,979 deaths.

Former New York Mayor Giuliani, 76, made an appearance earlier on Sunday on broadcaster Fox News to speak about his legal challenges on behalf of the outgoing US president.

Giuliani attended a hearing at the Georgia Capitol on Thursday where he did not wear a mask for several hours. Many state senators also did not use masks during the court session.

On November 7, Trump's lawyer kicked off the legal campaign to change the result of the election in somewhat unusual circumstances — at the Four Seasons Total Landscaping parking lot.

It was widely believed the press conference was meant to take place at the Four Seasons Hotel in Philadelphia but Trump's team booked the gardening centre by mistake.
