Washington : The US President Donald Trump has returned to White House on Monday night after spending 4 days in an Army hospital where he received treatment for the novel coronavirus.

Oxygen levels, including ambulatory saturations and his work of breathing or all normal though. He may not entirely be out of the woods, yet the team and I agree that all our evaluations and most importantly, his clinical status support the president’s safe return home, where he’ll be surrounded by world-class medical care 24 seven," Dr Conley said.Dr Sean Dooley, a pulmonary critical care physician, told reporters that the president continues to do very well.
