Trump ready to return to public events from Saturday, doctor says

Al Jazeera  

US president eager to get back on the campaign trail mulls Florida event after ten days confined to hospital and the White House. Donald Trump will be able to return to public events from Saturday, his doctor announced late on Thursday, saying the United States president’s condition after being diagnosed with COVID-19 had improved. Conley said that Saturday marks 10 days since Trump was diagnosed with COVID-19 on October 1, and he “fully anticipate the president’s safe return to public engagements at that time”. “At this point, there’s no diagnostic test that tells you whether a person that’s infected remains infectious,” Dr Benjamin Pinsky, who leads Stanford University’s virology labs, told The Associated Press news agency. “There is absolutely a chain of unknowns.” Dr Anthony Fauci, the government’s top infectious disease expert, said two negative polymerase chain reaction lab tests 24 hours apart are a key factor in determining whether someone is still contagious.
