Trump medical team says his blood oxygen level dipped twice since Friday, but his condition ‘has continued to improve’.
President Donald Trump’s medical team said on Sunday his health “continues to improve”, and that he could be discharged on Monday.
Trump had also been given dexamethasone, a steroid, after his blood oxygen level dipped, what one expert called an “extremely worrying sign”.
Trump said in a recorded message on Saturday that he was feeling ill when he arrived at the Walter Reed medical centre but now feels better.
The president was moved to the military hospital in Bethesda, Maryland, for treatment on Friday after testing positive for COVID-19.
Trump’s diagnosis forced him to withdraw at least temporarily from the campaign, raising questions about its potential effects on the November 3 election.
Meanwhile, the President had earlier thanked supporters who gathered outside of the hospital where he is being treated.
“I really appreciate all of the fans and supporters outside of the hospital,” Trump tweeted Sunday night.
