President Donald Trump is doing "extremely well" and reporting no symptoms of COVID-19 the day after returning to the White House after being hospitalized with the highly contagious disease, his doctor said in a statement on Tuesday.
Sean Conley, a Navy commander, said a team of physicians met with the president on Tuesday morning.
"He had a restful first night at home, and today he reports no symptoms. Vital signs and physical exam remain stable, with an ambulatory oxygen saturation level of 95-97%," he said in a statement released by the White House. "Overall he continues to do extremely well."
Trump was taken to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, Friday evening on Marine One. Doctors there treated him for his coronavirus infection with myriad drugs, including an anti-viral, a steroid, and an experimental antibody cocktail.
The White House medical team was concerned about Trump's condition on Friday, when he had a fever and experienced a drop in his blood oxygen saturation level. Trump was given supplemental oxygen to treat the latter.
Trump returned to the White House Monday evening, and on Tuesday he said he plans to attend next week's debate with Democrat Joe Biden. The president is still contagious, however.
