President Donald Trump’s doctor said he “no longer considered it a threat of transmission to others” on the 10th since the president began his fight opposing COVID-19.
In a memorandum published at the White House Saturday night, Dr. Sean Conley added to his previous assessment that Trump met the criteria for ending isolation, implying whether Trump had tested negative for the virus.
“Now, on the 10th day after the onset of symptoms, fever for more than 24 hours and all symptoms have improved, the collection of complex diagnostic tests received shows that there is no longer any evidence of active replication of the virus,” Conley said.
The memorandum comes after Trump celebrated his first public occasion at the White House on Saturday since the positive on October 1.
On Thursday, Conley said Trump would be allowed to be surrounded by others starting Saturday and that he had completed his treatment course for COVID-19 “as prescribed by his team of doctors. “
Guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say a user who has tested positive remains isolated up to 10 days after symptoms appear.
“In the future, I will continue to monitor it clinically as I return to an active schedule,” Conley said in Saturday’s note.
Trump was hospitalized at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center last weekend after his diagnosis, where he gained extra oxygen and had a “high fever” before returning to the White House last Monday.
The president must resume the rallies of the crusade from Monday, when he will be in Sanford, Florida. He has scheduled occasions in Johnstown, Pa. Tuesday and Des Moines, Iowa, on Wednesday.

The occasion came a day after Trump said he was “drug-free” in an interview with Fox News and added that he did not know the effects of his last coronavirus test, which he said had been administered the previous Friday.
White House officials and Trump’s doctor refused to say when he tested negative for the last time before his positive check-up last week.
Since Trump was diagnosed with COVID-19, a variety of White House officials and high-ranking Republicans have also tested positive, many of whom were provided in the September 26 announcement in Rose Garden of Trump’s selection for the Supreme Court. as a “wide circulation” event.
A USA TODAY survey found that Americans who tested positive in the president’s orbit could have exposed thousands of others across the country. At least 6,000 other people attended meetings, rallies and other meetings with others related to the outbreak at the White House in the week leading up to the Rose Garden event.
