Trump 'reports no symptoms' of COVID-19, physician says

Oct. 6 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump reported having no symptoms Tuesday during his first morning back at the White House after being hospitalized with COVID-19 over the weekend, his physician said.

"This morning, the president's team of physicians met with him in the residence," Dr. Sean Conley said. "He had a restful first night at home, and today he reports no symptoms.

"Vital signs and physical exam remain stable, with an ambulatory oxygen saturation level of 95-97%. Overall he continues to do extremely well."

Trump returned to the White House on Monday evening after three days at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md. He was admitted Friday evening.Conley said Sunday that Trump had been given supplemental oxygen after his oxygen saturation levels declined Friday. Trump also had a mild cough, nasal congestion and fatigue.

Upon his return to the White House on Monday, Trump boasted about his recovery and said Americans shouldn't fear COVID-19, sparking criticism for downplaying the virus that has killed more than 210,000 people in the United States.

Mike Pence's physician, Dr. Jesse Schonau, said Tuesday the vice president is still testing negative for the virus. Pence remained home Friday through Sunday "out of an abundance of caution" but that he returned to traveling Tuesday.

"Vice President Mike Pence is not a close contact with any individuals who have tested positive for COVID-19, including President Donald J. Trump and senior members of the White House administration, according to the guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control" and Prevention, Schonau said.
