Donald Trump tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday night.
Washington:
US President Donald Trump had a night’s rest and is still doing fine, his doctor said Tuesday, a day after he was released from a military hospital where he was being treated for coronavirus.
“I feel great,” Trump said in a tweet.
“This morning, the president’s medical team met with him at the Residence. He had a quiet first night at home and today he is not reporting any symptoms,” said Dr. Sean Conley, a White House physician, in a memo.
“Vital signs and physical examination remain stable with an ambulatory saturation level of 95-97 percent. Overall, he continues to do extremely well,” said Dr. Conley.
Trump, 74, and First Lady Melania tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday night. The president was transferred to a military hospital for treatment, which, according to the White House, was taken as “a matter of excessive caution.”
He hadn’t had a fever since Friday, his doctors said Monday. The First Lady continues to do well.
According to media reports, nearly 30 White House employees and at least three journalists have tested positive for COVID-19 so far.
Among them, the White House press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, stands out.
Vice President Mike Pence, who is scheduled to appear in a debate Wednesday, remains healthy without any symptoms of COVID-19, according to a separate memo issued by Dr. Jesse Schonau, a White House physician.
Trump in another tweet said he is looking forward to the debate with Joe Biden, the Democratic presidential candidate in Miami, on October 15.
“I’m looking forward to the debate on Thursday night, October 15, in Miami. It will be great!” said the president.
The president in a series of tweets criticized his opponent, even being highly critical of city hall in Miami a day earlier by Biden who was featured by NBC News. He described it as a joke.
“What a shame for our country that FREE public airwaves can be used that way! All SOFTBALLS. A great FIX. Time must be paid by the corrupt DNC!”
