Trump announced just before 1 a.m. Friday that he and the first lady had tested positive for coronavirus, a few hours after he tweeted that presidential aide Hope Hicks had tested positive for COVID-19
The president was flown to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center Friday night, before which an anonymous source told the Associated Press that Trump was given oxygen.
In a press conference on Saturday morning White House Dr. Sean Conley said that the president was doing well and that his symptoms were improving, though Conley refused to say whether the president had been on supplemental oxygen at any time during his treatment.
