Trump to spend 'few days' in hospital after COVID-19 diagnosis
President Trump headed to Walter Reed Military Medical Center on Friday evening after he tested positive for COVID-19 and began exhibiting what the White House described as "mild symptoms," including fatigue and reportedly a low-grade fever and cough. "Out of an abundance of caution," Trump will work from Walter Reed's presidential offices for the next "few days," Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said. The president appeared on camera while walking to Marine One to be transported to the hospital, and tweeted a video statement saying "I think I'm doing very well, but we're going to make sure that things work out." Trump's physician says Trump is being treated with an experimental cocktail of antibiotics, and he later received a dose of the antiviral drug remdesivir. Trump tweeted late Friday night that things are "going well, I think." A White House communications aide said there will be no transfer of power to Vice President Mike Pence while Trump is hospitalized.
