Parts of Donald Trump’s Florida golf resort Mar-a-Lago have been temporarily closed because of a coronavirus outbreak, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

A source familiar with club operations said that some workers had been quarantined "out of an abundance of caution," and "a section of the club" had been closed for a short period of time.

According to the Washington Post, Mar-a-Lago hosted two large fundraisers last weekend, including one event where the former president reportedly made an appearance.

Mar-a-Lago is expected to host events for the Republican National Committee spring retreat in Florida next month.

Trump and his family moved to the Palm Beach resort on Jan. 20, the day his successor Joe Biden was sworn in as president.

Months before that in October, Trump was hospitalized for several days after contracting the virus. His wife, Melania and son Barron also tested positive at that time. Before leaving office he was vaccinated privately.
