[Asia Economy New York=Correspondent Baek Jong-min] After being infected with the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), U.S. President Donald Trump has maintained a stable condition, and there is a prospect that he could be discharged as early as the 5th (local time).


On the 4th (local time), White House physician Sean Conley and President Trump's medical team announced this at a press conference.


The medical team stated that President Trump has maintained a stable condition without fever since the 2nd and is expected to be discharged and return to the White House as early as the 5th.


The medical team revealed that President Trump experienced two episodes of decreased blood oxygen levels and showed high fever symptoms on the 2nd, for which oxygen therapy was recommended.


At the briefing, Dr. Conley dismissed claims made the previous day by White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows that President Trump had experienced a critical condition, calling it a "misinterpretation."


He also addressed the controversy over his previous day's briefing remarks regarding the timing of President Trump's COVID-19 diagnosis, stating, "I did not want to provide information that could be interpreted in a different way about President Trump's symptoms."



President Trump was diagnosed with COVID-19 in the early morning of the 2nd and was admitted to Walter Reed Military Hospital that evening.
