Trump, was dramatically
airlifted to hospital on Friday evening, as he was rushed via helicopter to
Walter Reed medical center near Washington DC out of an “abundance of caution”
after showing coronavirus symptoms – putting the US election in jeopardy
with just weeks to go.
President Donald Trump is reportedly having trouble
breathing and is very fatigued, a senior White House official has said.
According to reports, the US president’s condition
seemed to be “serious” as he spent his first night in hospital after testing
positive for coronavirus.
CNN reported an official saying
there is “reason for concern” about his health and that the situation was
“serious”.
But the aide also reassured the public that they
should not be alarmed and has said Trump is taking the situation “very
seriously”.
Hours after he was transported to the hospital via
presidential helicopter Marine One, Trump tweeted: “Going well, I think! Thank
you to everyone. LOVE!!!”
After it was reported Trump was “struggling to
breathe,” White House doctor Sean P Conley said Trump was given a dose of
Remdesivir and that the president is “doing very well” and “is not requiring
any supplemental oxygen.”
Remdesivir recently approved as an emergency treatment for
Covid-19 is
used for the treatment of Ebola, SARS, and hepatitis C.
