Mr Trump repeated his claim to be immune from coronavirus on Twitter, where he wrote: “A total and complete sign off from White House Doctors yesterday. While Mr Trump said during the interview he did not know whether or how long he would be immune from Covid-19 — “no one knows”, he conceded— he made several misleading statements about the disease and how it affects patients who have had it. You have a president who is immune, which is a big — I think, which is a very important thing, frankly,” Mr Trump said on Sunday. White House physician Dr Sean Conley said in a memo on Thursday that the president would make a “safe return to public engagements” by the weekend, but Mr Trump’s doctors have not said whether he has tested negative twice since recovering from the illness, the benchmark suggested by public health experts for returning to social activities.
