Donald Trump's luxury resort Mar-a-Lago had to be partially closed due to a corona outbreak, according to a US media report.
Donald Trump's (74) luxury resort Mar-a-Lago had to be partially closed due to Corona. Several employees on the property are said to have tested positive for the virus. This comes from an email that the Washington Post has received from the club's management. The so-called Beach Club and the dinner room would therefore have to be temporarily closed. The management did not disclose how many employees were infected. Last weekend, according to the Washington Post, there were two major donation events on the property, where infection protection violations may have occurred.
Former US President Donald Trump retired to the property in Palm Beach in the US state of Florida after leaving the White House and dedicated himself in particular to playing golf. The fact that Trump established himself permanently on the property did not meet with enthusiasm in some cases.
The historian and author Laurence Leamer, who is considered an expert on the subject of Mar-a-Lago, told the US broadcaster MSNBC in January that numerous members of the club had said goodbye after Trump's lost re-election. "It's a sad place," said Leamer. And the neighborhood doesn't want him there either. A letter is even said to have been sent to the Secret Service and the City of Palm Beach, in which it is stated that Trump has no right to permanently reside in the complex, as it is considered a private club.
