The president, who said early Friday morning that he had tested positive for the virus, is showing mild symptoms of Covid-19, Mark Meadows, the White House chief of staff, told reporters on Friday.
He has a low-grade fever, nasal congestion and a cough, according to two people close to Mr. Trump.
The treatment the president received is an antibody cocktail developed by the biotech company Regeneron, according to a memo from his doctor, Dr. Sean P. Conley. Mr. Trump is also taking vitamin D, zinc, melatonin, a daily aspirin and famotidine (an antacid better known as Pepcid), the memo said.
White House spokesperson Alyssa Farah said Trump will be working from Walter Reed, “.@realDonaldTrump is in good spirts, has mild symptoms, and has been working throughout the day. Out of an abundance of caution, & at the recommendation of his physician and medical experts, he will be working from the presidential offices at Walter Reed for the next few days.”
