It is unclear whether Trump Jr's partner Kimberly Guilfoyle has tested positive or not. Kimberly, who is a former Fox News anchor, had tested positive for COVID-19 during Trump's presidential campaign and had recovered after a few days.

Trump Jr's result came out negative at that time as he apparently did not contract the disease. As per Trump Jr's spokesperson, he is completely asymptomatic and is following all COVID-19-related guidelines.
