US President Donald Trump has been breathing well on his own and is not receiving supplemental oxygen in his hospital treatment for Covid-19, his medical team said Saturday.
“We have monitored his heart function, his kidney function, his liver function. They are all normal,” said his doctor, Sean Conley.
“And the president this morning is not on oxygen, has no difficulty breathing or walking through the White House medical unit upstairs.”
Conley said Trump “is fine” and has been “fever free” for the past 24 hours, Reuters reported.
Trump woke up Saturday from his first night in the hospital as a Covid-19 patient and said he was fine as key Republican allies announced their own positive tests a month before the US election.
“It’s going well, I think! Thank you all. Love !!!” Trump said in his first tweet from the hospital Friday night.
I’m doing fine, I think! Thank you all. LOVE!!!

He had left the White House on his own, and was wearing a mask, which is rare for the world’s most prominent pandemic skeptic, to be rushed to the hospital.
In an 18-second video shot inside the White House and posted on Twitter, Trump broke his silence and said he was being hospitalized, but “I think I’m doing very well.”
“We’re going to make sure things work out,” he said, adding that first lady Melania Trump, who also contracted the virus, was “very well.”
