Doctors are carefully monitoring President Donald Trump’s health condition after he went through a “very concerning” period Friday as he battles the coronavirus. White House chief of staff Mark Meadows said on Saturday that the next 48 hours will be “critical.”
The president was given supplemental oxygen at the White House on Friday before he was transported to the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. He received a Regeneron antibody cocktail and was given the experimental drug Remdesivir to fast-track his recovery from COVID-19.
“We’re still not on a clear path yet to a full recovery,” Meadows added.
White House physician Sean Conley released a statement explaining that the president finished the first dose of Remdesivir and is “doing very well.”
“This afternoon, in consultation with specialists from Walter Reed and Johns Hopkins University, I recommended movement of the President up to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for further monitoring,” Conley wrote Friday. “This evening I am happy to report that the President is doing very well. He is not requiring any supplemental oxygen, but in consultation with specialists, we have elected to initiate Remdesivir therapy. He has completed his first dose and is resting comfortably.”
Additionally, Dr. Conley provided an update Saturday morning on the president’s condition. He reported that Trump has not complained of any breathing difficulties and he is not receiving supplemental oxygen.
