President
Donald Trump has returned to the White House after being
treated for Covid-19 at Walter Reed National Military Medical
Center.
Trump announced his Covid-19 diagnosis on Twitter
early Friday morning, and had frequent "ups and downs” in the early days
of his diagnosis.
Trump's doctors have said his condition required intravenous
medication and, on at least two occasions, supplemental oxygen.
On Monday, White House physician Dr. Sean Conley insisted
Trump was well enough to return home.
"He
may not be entirely out of the woods yet," Conley acknowledged, but said
his current condition supported a "safe return home."
Conley said it had been 72 hours since Trump's last fever and
that his oxygen levels were normal.
"He's met or exceeded all hospital discharge
criteria," Conley told reporters.
Conley offered few details on how staff members would be kept
safe upon Trump's return to the White House, which is equipped with its own
medical suite.
He also declined to detail some critical pieces of
information, such as when Trump last tested negative for coronavirus or what
was revealed in a lung scan. He said privacy rules prevented him from
disclosing those details, even though he and other doctors treating the
President offered very specific figures in other areas that seemed to show
Trump's condition improving.
