TRUMP TO REMAIN HOSPITALISED FOR A PERIOD OF TIME.

U.S. President Donald Trump who has been at Walter Reed medical center  could be discharged as early as Monday, according to his physicians. 

Over the course of Trump's illness, he experienced "two episodes of transient drops in his oxygen saturation" and was given a steroid.

Trump rode past supporters in his motorcade outside of Walter Reed late Sunday afternoon, and tweeted a video saying he is getting “great reports” from his doctors.

It was earlier said on Sunday by a key White House official that Trump will remain in the hospital for a “period of time,” 

The official ruled out the need to move towards a transfer of power within the federal government. National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien told broadcaster CBS that day seven and eight after the onset of symptoms are the “critical days” for any patient. 

Trump was diagnosed on Thursday with the new coronavirus and was moved, the next day, to the Walter Reed medical centre, a military facility outside Washington. 

He apparently had some breathing difficulties initially, but his doctors say his condition has improved and that the medical team “remains cautiously optimistic’’. 

His oxygen levels were back within a normal range on Saturday, he also received an antibody cocktail and his on a treatment course of Remdesivir.

Trump who issued a four-minute video from the hospital on Saturday, Wearing a blue suit jacket and no tie, insisted he was “starting to feel good’’ and would soon be back to work at the White House. 

The illness has thrown his’s re-election campaign into a tailspin, with just 30 days to go until the November vote. 

The team has been trying to put forward a sense of normalcy but campaign manager, Bill Stepien, is among a number of people in Trump’s inner circle to have contracted the coronavirus in the past week.

 Jason Miller, a campaign adviser, was pressed on ABC’s This Week about the president often refusing to wear a mask and holding large rallies, insisting that Trump has taken the virus “very seriously”.

 He attacked Democratic presidential nominee, Joe Biden, for using masks as a “prop”.
