Trump reports 'no symptoms' of COVID-19: physician

By Michael Hernandez

WASHINGTON (AA) - US President Donald Trump is telling his doctors he is not experiencing any symptoms from a COVID-19 infection, his chief physician said Tuesday, one day after the president returned to the White House.

"He had a restful first night at home, and today he reports no symptoms," Dr. Sean Conley said in a memo released after the president's team of physicians met with him at the White House. "Vital signs and physical exam remain stable, with an ambulatory oxygen saturation level of 95-97%. Overall he continues to do extremely well."

Conley said he would provide additional updates once doctors "know more."

Trump, 74, announced early Friday that he and first lady Melania Trump tested positive for the novel coronavirus, hours after Hope Hicks, one of his closest aides who traveled with him as recently as last Wednesday, tested positive for COVID-19.

The president was taken to Walter Reed Medical Center on Friday and was treated there over the weekend before being released to home care at the White House on Monday.

He is expected to receive a sixth and final dose of Remdesivir, an experimental antiviral drug, later Tuesday.
