After the announcement of her coronavirus diagnosis early on Friday morning, the first lady appears to be doing well.
“Her symptoms have not worsened, and she continues to rest. She remains in touch with her husband,” Melania Trump’s chief of staff said in a statement Saturday morning. “She is thinking of all who are ill and wishes them a speedy recovery.”
During a Saturday afternoon press conference, Dr. Sean Conley, the president’s physician, indicated that both the president and the first lady were doing well.
President Trump is receiving medical treatment at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, but the first lady is not.
“She has no indication for hospitalization or advanced therapy. She’s convalescing at home,” said Conley when asked why Melania Trump was not there as well.
In the past few hours, questions have arisen as to whether the White House has been fully forthcoming with the president’s true condition with conflicting reports between the White House’s on-the-record statements and someone speaking on background, likely from within the president’s staff.
