Pres. Donald Trump and his wife Melania announced late Thursday night that they had tested positive for the virus.
The news came after a close aid to the President, Hope Hicks, had also tested positive.
With Election Day just a month away, the President's announcement sent shockwaves across the country.
Former Vice President and the Democratic nominee for President Joe Biden tweeted on Friday morning that he was praying for Trump's health.
"Jill and I send our thoughts to President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump for a swift recovery. We will continue to pray for the health and safety of the president and his family," Biden wrote.

California Attorney General Xavier Becerra also tweeted wishes to President Trump and the First Lady.
"Our best wishes for a safe and speedy recovery for the President and First Lady. COVID-19 is real and deadly serious. If the most guarded human on the planet can contract the virus, imagine where that puts our essential workers, elderly and vulnerable loved ones," Becerra wrote.
Trump is reportedly experiencing "mild" symptoms, including fatigue, from the virus. At the advice of medical experts, Trump was transported on Friday to Walter Reed Medical Center to be evaluated after his diagnosis.
