U.S. President Donald Trump said he will leave the U.S. military hospital where he was being treated for COVID-19 later on Monday, adding that he felt “really good.”
“I will be leaving the great Walter Reed Medical Center today at 6:30 P.M. Feeling really good! Don’t be afraid of Covid. Don’t let it dominate your life. We have developed, under the Trump Administration, some really great drugs & knowledge. I feel better than I did 20 years ago!” he said on Twitter.
More than 200,000 Americans have died so far from the coronavirus, the highest total in the world.
Sean Conley, the White House physician, explained the decision for Trump leaving the hospital. “He’s met or exceeded all standard discharge criteria. He’ll receive another dose of Remdesivir [an antiviral medication] here today and then we plan to get him home.”
Conley said the president would continue to receive “world-class, 24/7” medical care at the White House.
