Trump’s physician, Sean Conley, said, “President Trump remains in good spirits, has mild symptoms, and has been working throughout the day”.

“Out of an abundance of caution, and at the recommendation of his physician and medical experts, the president will be working from the presidential offices at Walter Reed for the next few days.
