Donald Trump could be discharged from hospital on Monday, his doctors said, after a weekend of mixed messages from the White House concerning the president’s health after he was admitted to Walter Reed on Friday with Covid-19.
Sean Conley, the White House physician overseeing the medical team treating Mr Trump, on Sunday said they were pleased with his progress: “The president has continued to improve,” said Dr Conley.
However, he sparked fresh questions about whether he was providing a full picture after acknowledging that Mr Trump’s oxygen levels had dropped twice over three days and noting that at one point he had required supplementary oxygen.
