The case is being updated.
Trump was seen in one of the White House armored vans wearing a face mask saluting his supporters, escorted by Secret Service agents in full protective gear.
On Friday, the president was shown that he is infected with crown and has been admitted to Walter-Reed Hospital outside Washington since Friday night.
It was not clear at first where he was going, if he had been discharged after crown treatment and going home to the White House, or if it was just a short trip.
Earlier, Trump announced in a Twitter video that he would make a surprise visit, but without notifying the press.
– We will pay a little visit to the fantastic patriots that we have here on the street, he said in the video.
In a video Posted by a CNN reporter, the president is seen greeting a group of supporters who have been out of the hospital since he was admitted on Friday.

But the car ride showed that he is still willing to ignore basic precautions, and a doctor at the hospital where he is hospitalized was very critical.
– This is crazy. Every person who was with him in the car must now be quarantined for 14 days. They can get sick, they can die and act too politically, on Trump’s orders to put their life in danger for a play, tweeted Dr. James P. Philips.
– Astonishingly irresponsible, he followed in a new tweet.
Some Secret Service agents have said they are concerned about the inappropriate and indifferent attitude toward bandages and social distancing in the White House, but that they can do little about it.
– Confident with the hospital
The White House says that all precautions were taken during Trump’s departure, and that everything was authorized with medical personnel, according to Fox News.
“Appropriate precautions were taken during the trip to protect the president and others involved, including the personal infection control team,” White House Under Secretary of State Judd Deere said in a statement.
– The medical team authorized the trip as insurance to complete, adds Deere.
– In good recovery
It is not yet clear when Trump may be released from Walter Reed Hospital outside Washington, but doctors said Sunday his condition has improved and he could return to the White House on Monday, which has all the medical equipment it needs. needs to.
– The president’s condition has continued to improve. As with all illnesses, it tends to be ups and downs, said his doctor Sean Conley.
Just hours earlier, Trump’s doctors had said that his blood oxygen saturation had dropped dramatically twice in recent days and that they were giving him a steroid treatment normally only recommended for very sick patients.
Conley said that her oxygen saturation, which should normally be between 95 and 100 percent, dropped to 93 percent while she had a high fever, once on Friday and once through Saturday.
Doctors said nothing about whether there are signs of pneumonia or other damage to the lungs.

Credibility problem
Conley’s statements were in sharp contrast to the optimistic picture he was trying to paint of the situation on Saturday.
This has been two days of confusing and contradictory reports on the health of the president from the White House, who already has a credibility problem, which casts doubt on whether Trump’s doctors give the public a correct picture of the severity of the condition.
When journalists confronted Conley with conflicting information, he admitted that he had tried to give an optimistic picture of the situation that reflected the optimism of the doctors.
He admitted that it might then appear that they were trying to hide something, something that he said was not the case.

First class treatment
More than 209,000 Americans have died from the virus so far, by far the highest number in the world, and more than 7.4 million people have been infected in the United States. But few have access to the comprehensive treatment Trump receives, with 24-hour supervision and advanced experimental treatment.
Dexamethasone steroid treatment is in addition to a dose of an experimental drug that provides the body with antibodies to help the immune system fight the virus and a five-day regimen of Remdesivir.
But dexamethasone is only recommended for very seriously ill patients who need extra oxygen. For those with mild symptoms, on the contrary, the drug can be harmful as it can inhibit the ability of certain immune cells to fight infections.
