Doctor Says Trump Is No Longer Contagious

October 10, 2020 at 9:49 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“President Trump’s doctor said in a memo released Saturday night that he was ‘no longer considered a transmission risk to others,’ as the president prepared to resume campaign activities this week,” the New York Times reports.

“The memo from Dr. Sean Conley, the White House physician, said he was releasing information with Mr. Trump’s permission. But the amount of information he provided was limited, in keeping with restrictive presentations to the public that Dr. Conley has made throughout Mr. Trump’s battle with symptoms of the coronavirus since officials made his diagnosis public early on Oct. 2.”
