President Donald Trump, who revealed on Friday (October 2) that he and First Lady Melania tested positive for coronavirus, is doing well, according to his physician.

Speaking from the front of Walter Reed Medical Center, where Trump was admitted on Friday, Dr. Sean Conley said that the president is not on oxygen and that his medical team is "extremely happy" with his progress.

Conley fielded pressure from reporters who demanded to know if Trump had received any oxygen treatment since his diagnosis, deflecting with a repeated, "He is not on oxygen."

He added that Trump is overall in good condition, fever-free for 24 hours, and with heart rate and blood pressure in normal range. His main symptom currently is just feeling run-down.
