US President Donald Trump is in quarantine, along with First Lady Melania, after they tested positive for coronavirus. "We will get through this together," he said in a tweet revealing the news. The 74-year-old president had earlier announced the couple would be isolating after White House adviser Hope Hicks tested positive.
Ms Hicks, 31, had travelled with Mr Trump on presidential jet Air Force One to a TV debate in Ohio and by helicopter to a rally in Minnesota. She was pictured getting off the presidential jet in Cleveland without a face covering. Mr Trump largely spurns mask-wearing. It is not clear how his positive test will affect arrangements for the second presidential debate, which is scheduled for 15 October in Miami, Florida.

The actions of an SNP MP who travelled by train to Westminster with Covid symptoms are "utterly indefensible, says Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon. Margaret Ferrier is facing calls to resign, having also admitted she tested positive before making the return rail journey. The MP for Rutherglen and Hamilton West, who has been suspended by the SNP, says she deeply regrets her actions and has informed the police. Party leader Ms Sturgeon says: "It's hard to express just how angry I feel on behalf of people across the country making hard sacrifices every day to help beat Covid." Ms Ferrier was among the MPs who called on No 10 adviser Dominic Cummings to resign over his visit to north-east England during lockdown. Former leader of the Scottish Conservatives, Ruth Davidson, told BBC Newsnight if Ms Ferrier "had a shred of decency" she would resign.

While people have been alert to coughs or fevers signalling they might have coronavirus since it emerged, the loss of smell - only added to the official list of symptoms in May - could be a more reliable indicator of Covid-19, according to research. A University College London study of 590 people who lost their sense of smell or taste earlier in the year found four in every five had coronavirus antibodies. Of those with antibodies, 40% had no other symptoms. Its findings emphasise the importance of people self-isolating if they can't smell "everyday" items like perfume, bleach, toothpaste, or coffee, says lead author Prof Rachel Batterham. The thing to look out for is a loss of smell without having a blocked or runny nose, she adds. The study was, however, constrained by the fact participants all had mild symptoms, so they may not be representative of all Covid patients.

The actions of SNP MP Margaret Ferrier make several front pages. She "took Covid to the Commons", is how the Daily Telegraph describes her taking the train to Westminster, despite experiencing symptoms. The i claims she "broke [the] rules five times" in total. "One rule for them," complains the Daily Mail, which also references former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn breaking the "rule of six" and the prime minister's father, Stanley Johnson, neglecting to wear a face covering in a shop. Another politician - Mayor of Middlesbrough Andy Preston - has pledged to defy the local lockdown in his area, claiming the rules are based on "factual inaccuracies and a monstrous and frightening lack of communication and ignorance", says the Metro. And Guardian analysis suggests the infection rate has "at least doubled" in 11 out of 16 English cities and towns that have been subject to long-term local lockdowns, prompting concerns the restrictions are confusing.
