US President Donald Trump should be able to resume “public engagements” from Saturday, the White House physician announced, according to AFP.

“Saturday will be day 10 since Thursday's diagnosis, and based on the trajectory of advanced diagnostics the team has been conducting, I fully anticipate the president's safe return to public engagements at that time,” Trump's doctor Sean Conley said in a statement.

“Overall he's responded extremely well to treatment, without evidence on examination of adverse therapeutic effects,” Conley said.

Trump spent three days in the hospital before returning to the White House on Monday. The White House has become a Covid-19 hotspot, with dozens of people close to Trump testing positive.
