The president of the United States, Donald Trump, diagnosed with covid-19, assured this Friday that he believed he was “very well”, in a short video message published on his Twitter account while he arrived by helicopter at a hospital on the outskirts of Washington .
“I want to thank everyone for the tremendous support,” Trump said in his first public comments since announcing that he had tested positive for the coronavirus in the early morning hours.
“I’m going to Walter Reed Hospital. I think I’m fine. But we are going to make sure that everything goes well, “he explained, adding that his wife Melania, also infected with the virus, is” very well. “
Shortly before 7:00 p.m. in Chile, the arrival of the North American president was reported to the venue that will host him for an undetermined period.
He reached that place aboard a helicopter, which he walked up to. He wore a black cloth mask and held his thumb up as he walked, without stopping to speak to the press.
Then, he did the military salute before boarding the machine in charge of the transfer.
