Although President Trump has not personally updated the public on his status after tweeting that both he and first lady Melania Trump had tested positive for the virus, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said that he was experiencing "mild symptoms," in a statement released on Friday. She also mentioned that the president would be working from the offices at Walter Reed "out of an abundance of caution."
"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. President Trump appreciates the outpouring of support for both he and the First Lady," she said.
The president's physician, Dr. Sean P. Conley, confirmed that Trump was given "a single 8-gram dose of Regeneron's polyclonal antibody cocktail" following his diagnosis. For the past few months, the president has openly told the public that he'd been taking zinc as a precaution. Dr. Conley confirmed this, adding that he has also been taking "Vitamin D, famotidine, melatonin, and a daily aspirin."
An update on Melania Trump's health has not been released.
