President Donald Trump is “doing very well” and has been “fever-free” for 24 hours, according to the President’s physician, Navy Cmdr. Dr. Sean Conley, who gave an update on the President’s Covid-19 condition the morning after he was taken to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
Sources told CNN previously the President was running a low fever.
His admission to the hospital early Friday evening, less than 24 hours after news broke of his Covid-19 diagnosis, plunged the country into a deepening crisis as the circle of current and former aides to the President testing positive rapidly widened.
By early Saturday, former White House counselor Kellyanne Conway and the President’s campaign manager Bill Stepien had both tested positive, which followed the positive diagnoses of two US senators who had attended Trump’s Supreme Court nomination announcement last weekend, and Trump senior adviser Hope Hicks on Thursday. A third Republican US senator, who did not attend the nomination event, announced a positive diagnosis later Saturday morning. Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who had helped the President with debate preparations, also announced he had tested positive on Saturday. /CNN
