The CDC says most patients should be isolated for at least 10 days after the onset of their symptoms, and when their symptoms subside and they have gone away for at least 24 hours without a fever, they may be isolated at or beyond the point. But some critically ill patients may need to be isolated for at least 20 days, the agency says.
At the onset of his illness, the president was reserved for patients with oxygen treatment as well as dexamethasone, a steroid commonly used for covid-19 patients with lung damage.
Conley also said the president’s medical team found no evidence that the coronavirus was mimicking his body, and that the amount of virus present in Trump’s body has decreased over time.
But Connell did not say whether the president tested negative for the virus, which may still be present in his body. And while there is no FDA-authorized or accredited test that can say that a person is no longer infected, Conley makes it difficult to estimate the reliability of the tests cited in his memo.
The latest information still leaves some crucial information to do justice to Trump’s health – such as the condition of his lungs, and whether he has any delayed damage from the virus.
During his infection, Trump received a combination of treatments if any with other coronavirus patients. Although the FDA has approved the widespread emergency use of a drug – antiviral rimadesivir – and dexamethasone has been on the market for decades, Trump also received a noninvasive antibody treatment made by Regeneron.
