Just five days after announcing that he tested positive for COVID-19, President Donald Trump has apparently made significant improvements in his condition.
Dr. Sean Conley released a memo on Tuesday afternoon to provide an update on the presidentās condition.
It read, āThis morning the Presidentās team of physicians met with him in the Residence. He had a restful first night at home, and today he reports no symptoms.ā
āVital signs and physical exam remain stable, with an ambulatory oxygen saturation level of 95-97%. Overall he continues to do extremely well, I will provide updates as we know more,ā it added.
Read the memo below:
Trump revealed early Friday morning that he and the first lady had tested positive for COVID-19. He was later taken to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and administered a drug cocktail to combat the virus.
Additionally, he was given dexamethasone, which is a steroid that is usually used to treat patients who are facing a severe case of the virus.
Conley previously confirmed reports that Trumpās oxygen levels had dropped on Friday and Saturday. However, speaking to reporters on Monday, Conley was reluctant to provide more details about the presidentās condition as questions swirled about his health.
Specifically, Conley did not reveal if scans revealed any lung damage from the virus or whether there was anything abnormal that showed up in Trumpās bloodwork.
Conley did tell reporters that Trump had āmet or exceeded all standard hospital discharge criteria.ā
āThough he may not entirely be out of the woods yet, the team and I agree that all our evaluations and most importantly, his clinical status support the presidentās safe return home, where heāll be surrounded by world-class medical care 24/7,ā he added.
For his part, Trump said on Monday that he was āfeeling really goodā and ābetter than I did 20 years ago.ā
āDonāt be afraid of Covid. Donāt let it dominate your life. We have developed, under the Trump Administration, some really great drugs knowledge,ā he added.
