Trump taken to US military hospital after showing COVID-19 symptoms

President Donald Trump has been taken to Walter Reed Army Medical Centre — after showing some symptoms of the novel coronavirus disease.

Trump and his wife, Melania, tested positive to COVID-19 on Thursday night after a White House aide — close to the president –also contracted the virus.

“President Trump remains in good spirits, has mild symptoms, and has been working throughout the day,” Sean Conley, Trump’s physician, said.

“Out of an abundance of caution, and at the recommendation of his physician and medical experts, the president will be working from the presidential offices at Walter Reed for the next few days.

“President Trump appreciates the outpouring of support for both he and the first lady.”

The president’s campaign manager also tested positive for the virus, increasing tension that more people within the Trump campaign may have contracted the virus.

The president made a video to show he was doing well.

“I want to thank everybody for the tremendous support. I’m going to Walter Reed Hospital. I think I’m doing very well,” he said.

“We’re going to make sure that things work out. The first lady is doing very well. So thank you very much, I appreciate it. I will never forget it. Thank you,” he added.

Trump is one of three heads of government who are said to have mishandled the management of the crisis.

TheCable had initially explained what is expected to happen if the President becomes unavailable to discharge his duty as a candidate on the Republican presidential ticket.
