By Arul Louis New York, Oct 2 : Although stricken by Covid-19, US President Donald Trump was showing only mild symptoms and was back on the job on Friday morning, his Chief of Staff Mark Meadows said.
“The American people can rest assured that we have a President that is not only on the job, will remain on the job and I’m optimistic that he’ll have a very quick and speedy recovery,” Meadows told reporters.
“I got the five or six things that he had tasked me to do like I do every single morning. He is certainly wanting to make sure we stay engaged,” he said.
The only noticeable difference was that Trump was silent on Twitter after his tweet around 1 a.m. announcing that he had tested positive for Covid-19.
However, the campaign with the election 32 days away on November 3 is at a standstill.
The campaign events for Friday and the next few days have been cancelled, Trump Campaign Senior Adviser Corey Lewandowski told CBS News.
