Mar-a-Lago is partially closed as of Friday over an apparent covid outbreak.

Former President Donald Trump’s Florida club reportedly has an outbreak of the coronavirus among staffers. Politico reports they did it “out of an abundance of caution” for a short time.

An email to members shared by CNN says, “As some of our staff have recently tested positive for COVID-19, we will be temporarily suspending service at the Bach Club and a la carte Dining Room.”

Trump himself had coronavirus back in October and was hospitalized for a few days. He was vaccinated in January — which was not publicly known until reports a few weeks ago.
