The president of the United States, Donald Trump.
The president of the United States, Donald Trump, has been hospitalized after contracting the coronavirus. Trump was taken to Walter Reed Military Hospital 24 hours before Corona was identified. White House officials in Washington say President Trump was taken to the hospital as part of an additional precaution.
Earlier, he left the White House for the hospital in the afternoon local time.
Donald Trump was seen boarding a special helicopter carrying the president, Marine One, in a suit and mask before leaving the White House. He greeted reporters but did not speak to anyone.
There were some “mild symptoms” of the coronavirus Thursday, but Donald Trump, 74, said Wednesday night that he and his wife, Melania, had been quarantined.
White House officials say the president was tired but in good spirits after he was administered medication as a precautionary measure.
The White House said in a statement that President Trump is fine, with some mild symptoms and has been working all day.
According to the American media CBS News, Donald Trump’s symptoms include a mild fever.
A statement said the president will work from Walter Reed’s presidential office in the coming days, as a precautionary measure and on the advice of his doctor.
Under the United States Constitution, if the president is unable to work due to illness, he can delegate his responsibilities to the vice president. That means Vice President Mike Pence will be the acting president temporarily.
