The kron fours noelle bellow is breaking down everything we do know about his treatment since receiving his positive test results. Through a series of confusing and misleading updates from President Trumps doctors we are piecing together the president s condition after testing positive for covid19 early friday morning. Over the course of the day friday, the president s vital signs were said to be concerning. He was put on supplemental oxygen friday and received an antibody cocktail before being transported to walter reed Medical Center. While at the hospital the president was given several rounds of remdesevir which is an antiviral drug on saturday. We learned the president was fever free while at walter reed he began tweeting out videos and photos of himself while working at the hospital. However was later revealed his oxygen levels dropped a couple of times on saturday leading him to be put back on supplemental oxygen for a short period of time. He was also given the steroid dexamethasone however doctors remained optimistic. On sunday, the president took a bit of a joy ride around the Medical Center waving to supporters from the back of an suv and by monday doctors said the president s vitals were Strong Enough and he had been fever free for 72 hours. So it was appropriate to discharge him so he could continue his recovery with the help of a team of doctors at the white house. May not entirely be out of the woods yet the team and i agree that all or evaluations, most importantly, his clinical status. Support the president s safe return home. The president did of course attend and host several events in the days leading up to his positive diagnosis. Officials say Contact Tracing is being done noelle bellow kron 4 news. We now want to go live to our washington dc correspondent alexandra le mon for the latest on whats happening at the white house since the president s return, thank you alexander for joining us tonight. So what is the latest the very latest on the president s condition as well as the growing number of cases showing up at the white house. Yeah well the very latest information is that we watched past President Trump arrived back at the white house then he went up to the white house balcony and removed his mask. Then we saw him walk into the residence and in the background you could see several people milling about as the president walked in without putting his mask back on this is prompting new concerns tonight from doctors and democratic lawmakers. Who say theres already an outbreak of coronavirus cases at the white house at least 26 people who came in contact with the president or his top aides have now tested positive for coronavirus so there is a fear here that we could see more of these cases if the president is just Walking Around the white house with no mask on. Alexandra, im curious about to the statement the president made about we can beat this there are new drugs out there that he was able to take advantage of he almost made it sound like all you have to do is be Strong Enough physically and mentally and you can arm wrestle covid19 and win, but that seems pretty simplistic isnt plus yet care that nobody else can really get. Well the president did receive a couple of different experimental treatments for covid19 hes also been taking rimmed as severe. His doctors said today that he had another dose of that today and is expected to have at least one more dose of that tomorrow, so one of the questions here is whether all of these. Medications or making him feel stronger perhaps these medications are keeping the fever down and perhaps that is why he feels like he is in such good shape right now i spoke to a california congressman raul ruiz earlier in the night. He is also a decision and he told me there is that risk that these drugs can actually make you feel stronger than you are and actually the president s doctors have addressed that they are not only continuing to monitor the president for his illness but also to see whether he has you know, and the Adverse Reactions to those medications. You know the president did venture out travel to outside the hospital to see some of his supporters. Is he do you know yet whether or not he plans to quarantine now that hes back of the white house or are they already talking about his schedule in the coming weeks. Well President Trump tweeted earlier in the night and actually several times tonight now and he said he would be back out on the campaign trail soon its unclear what exactly that means as far as you know how many days from now obviously the cdc recommends quarantining for 2 weeks if youve tested positive for covid19 but i guess well have to wait and watch and see whether President Trump actually does that.
