Trump begins Remdesivir therapy
President Trump was transferred Friday afternoon to Walter Reed Medical Center, where the White House said he would be monitored for the next few days for COVID-19 symptoms.
It’s the most serious health crisis a president has faced since President Ronald Reagan was shot in 1981, a CBSNews report says.
The White House physician said Friday night that Mr. Trump had begun Remdesivir therapy, and had taken one dose of the antiviral.
The physician added that Mr. Trump was “doing very well” and had not required supplemental oxygen.
White House spokesperson Kayleigh McEnany said earlier Friday that Mr. Trump had “mild symptoms,” and was being transferred to Walter Reed Medical Center “out of abundance of caution and at the recommendation of his physician and medical experts.”
White House sources said Mr. Trump was suffering from a low-grade fever.
The White House physician said earlier he was feeling “fatigued” and would be taking an antibody cocktail.
Late Friday, former Trump senior adviser Kellyanne Conyway said she had tested positive for the coronavirus. Conway said she too had “mild” symptoms, which she said included a “light cough.”
Conway was at the Rose Garden event on September 26 when Mr. Trump announced he would be nominating Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. Two Republican senators at that event, Thom Tillis and Mike Lee, have tested positive as well.
Vice President Mike Pence, who would take over for Mr. Trump if he were incapacitated or deemed unable to carry out the duties of the presidency, said Friday he had tested negative for the virus.
Democratic nominee Joe Biden, who was with Mr. Trump at the debate on Tuesday, said Friday he and his wife had tested negative for the coronavirus.
The Biden campaign halted its negative ads on Friday, and Biden tweeted a call for unity
