President Donald Trump will receive more doses of Remdesivir on Sunday as he enters a third day in hospital, with his physician saying he has made "substantial progress" but still isn't "out of the woods." Trump completed a second dose of Remdesivir on Saturday and remained fever free, his doctor Sean Conley said in a Saturday evening update. He's expected to conduct his presidential duties while being monitored by Conley.
"While not yet out of the woods, the team remains cautiously optimistic," Conley said in a statement. White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows said in an interview on Fox News that Trump is "is doing really well now," but suffered from a fever and reduced blood-oxygen saturation on Friday. "We were concerned with that," he said. "He had a fever, and his blood oxygen level had dropped rapidly."
