Quoting a source familiar to Trump's campaign schedule, CNN said that the first lady will not give any solo remarks at Pennsylvania event and neither does she have any upcoming travels or appearances related to the US election 2020 campaign. This recent announcement came a few weeks after Melania and Trump tested positive for Coronavirus on October 2 after one of the President's close aide got infected with the virus.

US First lady Melania details her COVID-19 experience
The First Lady of the United States Melania Trump recently posted a personal essay on the White House website detailing her experience battling coronavirus, which she tested positive for earlier this month. Melania revealed that her 14-year-old son, Barron Trump, eventually tested positive for the virus, a diagnosis the White House did not share. As for her symptoms, US President Donald Trump’s wife wrote that they were ‘minimal,’ however, they had hit her all at once.
Melania Trump wrote, “I was very fortunate as my diagnosis came with minimal symptoms, though they hit me all at once and it seemed to be a roller coaster of symptoms in the days after”.
She added that she had body aches, headaches and was extremely tired. Unlike her husband, Melania did not go to the hospital. In the essay, she wrote that she did not opt for the same course as the President. She said that she ‘chose a more natural route,’ relying on vitamins and healthy food and not a cocktail of medications.
