PRESIDENT Donald Trump has been rushed to a military hospital in an “abundance of caution” as he experiences coronavirus symptoms following his diagnosis.
The White House announced on Friday that Trump will spend “the next few days” at the Walter Reed medical center in Maryland – just hours after he confirmed he had the deadly virus.
The president was transported to the hospital by presidential helicopter Marine One.
Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said: “President Trump remains in good spirits, has mild symptoms, and has been working throughout the day.”
Meanwhile, stock markets plunged overnight in the wake of the president’s positive coronavirus announcement.
Trump revealed he and the First Lady had caught coronavirus having seemingly caught it from senior White House aide Hope Hicks.
At the age of 74, Trump is considered to be in the ‘high risk’ category as a covid patient due to his weight and age.
