WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump’s doctor said Thursday that Trump had completed his treatment for the coronavirus, had been stable since returning to the White House and could return to his public engagements on Saturday.
Dr. Sean Conley said in a memo published by the White House that Trump had responded “extremely well” to the treatment without any evidence of adverse effects.
Trump was hospitalized on Friday after announcing that he had contracted the coronavirus. He returned to the White House on Monday.
“Since he returned home, his physical examination has been stable and without any indication to suggest progression of the disease,” Conley wrote. “Saturday will be the 10th since Thursday’s diagnosis, and based on the track record of advanced diagnostics the team has been conducting, I fully anticipate the president’s safe return to public engagements at that time.”
Trump, confined to the White House with the illness he has tried to downplay, said Thursday that he did not believe it was contagious and that he was feeling well enough to resume campaign rallies. Such demonstrations, particularly indoors, have raised concerns among public health experts about the spread of the virus.
“I would love to have a rally tonight. I wanted to do one last night, “Trump said, adding that” if I’m at a rally, I’m alone, far away from everyone, “Trump told Fox Business Network.
