President Trump has Covid-19: How global media responded

As news emerged that US President Donald Trump and his wife Melania had tested positive for coronavirus, the story shot to the top of every news agenda worldwide.

It's just 32 days until Americans cast their votes in the race for the White House - and this is a seismic development.

World leaders were quick to send the Trumps their well-wishes, with India's Twitter-loving Prime Minister Narendra Modi among the first.

"Wishing my friend @POTUS @realDonaldTrump and @FLOTUS a quick recovery and good health," he wrote.

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tweeted: "Like millions of Israelis, Sara and I are thinking of President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump and wish our friends a full and speedy recovery."
