OHIO, USA — Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and Lt. Governor Jon Husted issued a proclamation Saturday calling for a "Day of Prayer" for President Trump and First Lady, Melania, after the two both tested positive for the Coronavirus. 

The Day of Prayer is set to be observed, Sunday, October 4 and will also seek prayers for anyone affected by the Coronavirus. 

"Ohioans have long turned to prayer during difficult and trying times as a source of strength and comfort," the proclamation read. 

 Americans awoke Friday morning to the news that President Donald Trump and the First Lady both tested positive for COVID-19.

Their diagnosis comes just a few days after President Trump and several of his family members -- including the First Lady -- were in Cleveland to attend Tuesday's debate against Joe Biden, many seen seated in the audience without wearing a mask.

On Saturday, President Donald Trump’s doctors said the president is doing well, and is fever-free Saturday, and isn't having difficulty breathing after contracting the coronavirus.
