At a briefing on Sunday, doctors said Trump’s blood oxygen levels had fallen twice in recent days, once on Friday and once on Saturday, and that the US president was being treated with steroids, but gave a positive assessment of Trump’s recovery prospects.
“The president’s health continues to improve. As with any illness, there is often both an upturn and a downturn,” Trump’s doctor, Sean Conley, told reporters.
He said Trump was taken to Walter Reed’s military hospital on Friday because his illness had progressed rapidly and the level of oxygen in his blood had dropped alarmingly low, so Trump was given extra oxygen while he was still in the White House.
Another Trump doctor, Brian Garibaldi, allowed Trump to leave the hospital on Monday.
“If he continues to look and feel as good as he does today, we hope he can be discharged tomorrow. [no slimnīcas un atgriezties] In the White House, where he can continue his treatment, “said Garibaldi.
Tramp has already been reported to have been diagnosed with Covid-19 on Thursday, and his condition worsened on Friday, so he was taken to Walter Reed Military Hospital in Bethesda, Maryland, near Washington. Earlier, officials made contradictory and evasive statements that raised uncertainty about the true health of the 74-year-old Trump. Conley, among others, declined on Saturday to find out if Tramp was given extra oxygen.
Trump, meanwhile, released a video on Saturday night claiming he was feeling much better.
Trump has been forced to cancel pre-election campaign measures due to illness. The Republican Party has confirmed his candidacy for a second term, and in the November 3 presidential election, Trump will have to compete with Democratic candidate, former Vice President Joe Biden.
