President Donald Trump will stay at a military hospital outside Washington DC for a few days as a precautionary measure following his Covid-19 diagnosis on Friday (Oct 2), the White House said.
His physician Sean Conley said that Mr Trump “remains fatigued but in good spirits” as of Friday afternoon, while his wife Melania, who also tested positive for Covid-19, remained well with only a mild cough and headache.
The President was uncharacteristically silent on Twitter for most of the day after announcing his diagnosis, but in his first public comments in the evening, said he believes he is “doing very well”.
“I want to thank everybody for the tremendous support,” said Mr Trump in a brief video message on Twitter, posted around the time he arrived by helicopter at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.
“I think I’m doing very well. But we’re going to make sure that things work out. The First Lady is doing very well,” he said, dressed in a suit and blue tie.
He thanked well wishers for their support, adding: “Thank you very much, I appreciate it, I will never forget it."
In a memorandum released to the media, Dr Conley said that the President received a single 8 gram dose of biotech company Regeneron's antibody cocktail, and completed the infusion without incident.
The President has also been taking zinc, vitamin D, famotidine, melatonin and a daily aspirin, he added.
Earlier in the day, Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said that Mr Trump remained in good spirits with mild symptoms, and had been working throughout the day.
