Doctor Says Trump is No Longer Contagious Ahead of Florida Rally
White House Physician confirmed on Saturday evening that Pres. Donald Trump could no longer transmit the virus. The announcement was made ahead of the Florida rally.
Pres. Donald Trump can now hold in-person rally after he tested positive for COVID-19 last week. Dr. Sean Conley, the president's physician, announced through a memorandum that Pres. Trump met the criteria for the safe discontinuation of isolation of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Dr. Conley wrote on his memorandum, "This morning's COVID PCR sample demonstrates, by currently recognized standards, he is no longer considered a transmission risk to others from symptom onset, fever-free for well over 24 hours and all symptoms improved."
According to a published report in Newsweek, Dr. Conley is committed to continue monitoring Pres. Trump's health as he returns to an active schedule.
He also assured in his memorandum that the diagnostic tests revealed that there is no longer evidence of actively replicating virus.
Pres. Trump's physician released the memorandum as the team prepares for his campaign rally in Florida and other in-person campaigns in the coming weeks.
Pres. Trump is scheduled to travel in Florida for his first in-person campaign after he tested positive for the virus 10 days ago.
It can be remembered that Pres. Trump was admitted at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center last Friday and went back to the White House on Tuesday. He spent three days at the hospital where he was treated and given medication.
Moreover, Pres. Trump held his first official public event earlier today on the South Lawn, where he gave a peaceful protest campaign speech.
After the president tested positive for the virus, Trump is now back again in business to resume his presidential bid.
Trump and the White House are yet to release ad give information about the present COVID-19 test of the president. During an interview from one of the news outlets, Trump did not directly answer the question of his COVID-19 test result.
Additionally, another news outlet tried to reach out to the White House for any information about the health status and the latest rCOVID-19 test result of the president. But there is no response yet from the White House or the president's physician.
Even though there is no result yet, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that people who tested positive for the virus are no longer contagious 10 days after the onset of the virus. This means that Pres. Trump already passed the required number of days using this standard.
Dr. Conley also shared that Pres. Trump did not have a breathing problem which a lot of people who tested positive for the virus experienced. However, Dr. Conley admitted as well that they gave supplemental oxygen to the president during the early stage of his diagnosis.
