In a relief to the Republican campaign managers, US President Donald Trump has no symptoms of Covid-19, said White House physician Dr Sean Conley.

 In a written memorandum, Dr Conley said: “This morning the President’s team of physicians met him in the Residence. 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 to 97 per cent. Overall he continues to do extremely well, I will provide updates as we know more.” 

On Monday, Trump returned to the White House after departing from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where he was admitted for treatment of Covid-19. As soon as he reached the White House he took off his mask despite caution from Dr Conley that Trump was not entirely “out of the woods yet”.

 “After exiting the presidential helicopter, Trump entered the White House through the Blue Room balcony and walked upstairs from South Portico. He then proceeded to take off his mask and put it in his pocket while he gave a thumbs up to the onlookers from the balcony,” CNN reported. 

Trump and his wife Melania Trump on Tuesday tested positive for Covid-19.
