White House physician Dr. Sean Conley said Trump's first night back was a "restful" one, as noted in a CNBC report. In a memo released by the White House, it was also written that the president did not experience any COVID-19 symptoms.

Trump met with his team at the White House on Tuesday morning, said a New York Post report. They checked on Trump's health and looked out for any lingering COVID-19 symptoms.

According to the memo, the president appears to be "extremely well" on his first night off the hospital. "Vital signs and physical exam remain stable, with an ambulatory oxygen saturation level of 95-97%," Conley wrote.

Trump received a diagnosis for COVID-19 on Thursday evening. Then, he was moved to Walter Reed Military Medical Center on Friday.

He was flown to the hospital because he experienced a high fever, and there was a drop in his oxygen level. As The Hill noted, the doctors had to hook him up to supplemental oxygen.

Earlier reports said Trump had not had a fever since Friday.

But he experienced a bit of the symptom like a mild cough, nasal congestion, and fatigue.

Conley Reassures Public on Trump's Health

Since the president is already 74 years old, his age became a matter of concern for many Americans. He is also classified as clinically obese.

These conditions put the president at a high risk of getting severe COVID-19 complications. So, it seemed natural for many to wonder what could happen to the coming elections if Trump became too sick to push through.

But that concern seemed to be shrugged off by even Trump's own doctors. Conley has briefed reporters for three times over the past three days.

On all these briefings, Conley did not show signs of alarm. He always described Trump as "improving."

The president report also said Saturday that he is feeling "much better." He was backed by his doctors, saying he was making progress and was up and about in his hospital suite.

Despite these reassurances, there are still some questions left unanswered. People still don't know the timeline of the president's infection.

Trump Says He Feels 'Great'

Since the president's diagnosis was made public, it was clear he did not want to stop working. Even in his hospital suite, receiving medical care, he was doing his tasks.

On Tuesday morning, he said in a tweet that he's "feeling great." Also, on a tweet Monday, he said he was feeling "better than [he] did 20 years ago" before he boarded the helicopter back to the White House.

The president may be feeling better, but Conley also said he is not "entirely out of the woods."

In the Tuesday tweet, he said he wants to be part of the second presidential debate on October 15.

But his opponent Joe Biden is having some reservations. In a CNN report, Biden said there shouldn't be a debate at all if Trump is still COVID-19 positive.

So far, Trump has received several treatments to fight off COVID-19. These treatments include experimental polyclonal antibodies and supplemental oxygen.

He also received doses of remdesivir, and a steroid called dexamethasone.
