President Donald Trump's health is improving as he responds to treatment for COVID-19 at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, his doctors said Sunday, adding that he could return to the White House as early as Monday.
"If he continues to look and feel as well as he does today, our hope is that we can plan for a discharge as early as tomorrow to the White House where he can continue his treatment course," said Dr. Brian Garibaldi of Johns Hopkins University, who is consulting on the president's medical treatment. Later Sunday, Trump briefly left the medical center for a drive-by greeting for dozens of supporters who had gathered across the street from the hospital.
On Thursday, Trump said he'd tested positive for COVID-19. On Friday, he was flown to Walter Reed Medical Center out of what the White House called "an abundance of caution." And on Saturday, the state of the president's health remained uncertain: White House physician Dr. Sean Conley said Trump was "doing very well." But White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows reportedly said the president's vitals had been "very concerning."
