* Physicians consider Remdesivir therapy
U.S President, Donald Trump, has reportedly suffered fatigue, and promptly flown to the Walter Reed Medical Center as he experienced coronavirus symptoms.
The White House announced on Friday that Trump, who confirmed late on Thursday that he tested positive for COVID-19, will spend “the next few days” at the military hospital in Maryland.
“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,” the White House said in a statement.
Trump will be transported to the hospital by Marine One.
Earlier in the day, White House doctor Sean P Conley said Trump “remains fatigued but in good spirits.”
A new memo released on Friday afternoon details the mix of vitamins and antioxidants the president is taking for coronavirus symptoms.
Conley, in writing the memo to White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany, wrote of Trump’s health status a day after he tested positive for the coronavirus.
“As of this afternoon the President remains fatigued but in good spirits,” Conley wrote.
“He’s being evaluated by a team of experts, and together we’ll be making recommendations to the President and First Lady in regards to next best steps.”
Conley wrote that First Lady Melania Trump was doing mildly better than the president.
Meanwhile, medical specialists have decided to start Remdesivir therapy for President Donald Trump, according to a tweet from Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany that cites a statement from his physician.
Trump has completed his first dose of the drug and is resting comfortably, according to his physician Sean Conley. He is not requiring any supplemental oxygen, the statement says.
Trump tweeted shortly before the statement hit, saying he is going well and “thank you to all.”
