By Arul Louis New York, Oct 6 : US President Donald Trump has said that he will be leaving the hospital on Monday evening and his doctors confirmed that he is ready for discharge.
“I will be leaving the great Walter Reed Medical Center today at 6:30 p.m.,” he tweeted Monday afternoon.
His personal doctor Sean Conley told reporters, “He’s met or exceeded all standard hospital discharge criteria.” Trump was admitted to the military hospital in Washington on Friday for treatment of COVID-19.
Trump’s return to the White House comes as several people close to him have come down with the coronavirus. His press secretary Kayleigh McEnany was the latest to announce that she had tested positive for the virus.
It is estimated that almost 20 White House staffers are ill with COVID-19, two of them from McEnany’s office.
