[Asia Economy New York=Correspondent Baek Jong-min] The White House physician announced that the condition of President Donald Trump, who was hospitalized due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), has improved.

Sean Conley, the president's physician, and the medical staff at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where President Trump is receiving treatment, stated at a press conference on the 3rd (local time), "President Trump has been without a fever for the past 24 hours," and explained that he has no difficulty breathing and is not using an oxygen ventilator.

According to the medical team, President Trump showed mild cough, slight nasal congestion, and fatigue on Thursday, the 1st, but his condition has since significantly improved.

Dr. Conley said, "President Trump also said, 'I feel like I could walk out of the hospital today,'" and explained that his mental state is also good.

Dr. Conley also stated that Melania, President Trump's wife, who also tested positive for COVID-19, is maintaining a good condition.

The briefing was interpreted as an effort to alleviate concerns that President Trump's symptoms might be severe, following reports that he was prescribed Remdesivir, a treatment used for severe COVID-19 patients. Dr. Conley emphasized that President Trump's hospitalization was a precautionary measure.

Dr. Conley had previously announced in a statement that President Trump had started Remdesivir treatment.
