Trump to spend days at military hospital after COVID-19 diagnosis
The HinduU.S. President Donald Trump was in a military hospital on Saturday for treatment after testing positive for COVID-19, an extraordinary development that upended the presidential race a month before the Nov. 3 election. “I think I'm doing very well, but we're going to make sure that things work out,” Mr. Trump said in a brief video message posted on Twitter. Mr. Trump will work in a special suite at the hospital for the next few days as a precautionary measure, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said. White House doctor Sean P. Conley said late on Friday that Mr. Trump was doing very well, did not need supplemental oxygen, and had received a first dose of Remdesivir, an intravenous antiviral drug sold by Gilead Sciences Inc that has been shown to shorten hospital stays. Mr. Trump's campaign manager, Bill Stepien, also tested positive for COVID-19 on Friday and will work from home, according to a senior campaign official.
