Kellyanne Conway has revealed that she has tested positive for COVID-19 - and her family are not happy about it.
Conway - who, until recently, has worked as a senior adviser to Donald Trump - is the latest person in the President's orbit to test positive for the novel coronavirus, after Hope Hicks, Melania Trump, and the POTUS himself have all tested positive.
Writing to her 3.4 million Twitter followers in the early hours of Saturday morning (October 3), 53-year-old Conway wrote:
"Tonight I tested positive for COVID-19. My symptoms are mild (light cough) and I’m feeling fine. I have begun a quarantine process in consultation with physicians.
"As always, my heart is with everyone affected by this global pandemic."
Per news.com.au, Conway is now the seventh person to test positive for the virus after attending an event in the White House's Rose Garden a week ago
During the gathering, Trump announced that he had selected Judge Amy Coney Barrett to fill the Supreme Court’s vacant seat.

Other individuals who have since tested positive are the President himself, First Lady Melania, Utah Senator Mike Lee, North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis, the University of Notre Dame’s president, Reverend John Jenkins, and a White House reporter who has not been identified.
The event hosted more than 150 guests - many of whom sat in close proximity to each other, and many were pictured not wearing face masks.
In the tweet below, Sen. Mike Lee can be seen hugging another guest, as he holds his face mask in his hand.

Kellyanne Conway's husband, George Conway, has since taken to Twitter to share a picture of the packed event, along with the words: "I'm livid".
Mr Conway is a conservative lawyer and co-founder of The Lincoln Project, a group of anti-Trump Republicans that is seeking to stop his re-election.

On October 2, following Trump's own positive diagnosis, George Conway tweeted: "He failed to protect the country. He couldn't even protect himself."
In addition, Kellyanne and George's daughter, 15-year-old Claudia Conway, has also taken to TikTok to share a message with her 880,000+ followers.

Back in September, Kellyanne Conway announced that she would be stepping down from her role in the White House in order to focus on her family.
The news came one day after 15-year-old Claudia announced that she was "officially pushing for emancipation" from her parents.
