‘Trump may be able to go home on Monday’ | Abroad

The doctors said Trump had a high fever and poor oxygen levels on Friday morning. He was given oxygen. Then he was taken to hospital.

His condition is now getting better, with ups and downs – like Saturday, when things went badly, says his physician Sean Conley. Trump no longer has a fever and respiratory symptoms, and his vital signs are stable.

The doctors now want him to ‘eat and drink and exercise as much as possible’. If his improvement continues, he may be able to return to the White House on Monday, said physician Brian Garibaldi.

On Saturday, Trump said things were getting better. “When I came in here, I didn’t feel well, but now I feel a lot better. I will resume work as soon as possible to complete the campaign. I thank the medical staff who have done a great job. The therapies are a miracle, a gift from God. But we are not there yet, the real test will follow in the coming days, we have to see what happens then ”, said the president.
