Trump has ‘no COVID symptoms’; military leaders in quarantine

Washington

Donald Trump has “had a restful first night at home” and has reported no symptoms of COVID-19 yesterday, his White House doctor has said. Dr Sean Conley said in a statement the president’s vital signs and physical exam remain stable. “Overall he continues to do extremely well,” Dr Conley said. He added that Trump’s oxygen saturation level - an indicator in treating the disease - is at 95% to 97%, within the normal range. Yesterday, the Pentagon said top US military leaders are self-isolating after a senior Coast Guard official tested positive for the coronavirus. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen Mark Milley, was among those affected. There are at least 16 cases among White House staff and recent visitors to the complex so far, including press secretary Kayleigh McEnany and Hope Hicks, a counsellor to the president. But Dr Jesse Schonau, a White House physician, says Vice President Mike Pence’s daily tests have all come back negative. His Democratic presidential challenger, Joe Biden tested negative for COVID-19 yesterday, his campaign said in a statement.
