US President Donald Trump was admitted to Walter Reed Military Hospital near Washington on Friday, where he is undergoing an experimental treatment for "Covid-19", which led to his removal from the election campaign a month before the polls, leaving the field to his Democratic rival, Joe Biden.

The president's doctor said that Trump is receiving treatment with remdesivir and is currently resting after being hospitalized.

About 17 hours after his surprise announcement that he and First Lady Melania had contracted "Covid-19", Trump walked slowly and without any help from the White House to a helicopter that was waiting to take him to Walter Reed Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. Muzzle and did not speak to reporters.

A source familiar with the matter said Trump, 74, had a mild fever.

White House doctor Sean Bi said.

Conley late Friday evening, Trump is in very good condition and does not need oxygen, and he received the first dose of the anti-viral drug remdesivir produced by the American company Gilead Sciences, and it was proven that it reduces the stay of Corona patients in hospitals.

"I am delighted to report that the president is in very good health," Sean Conley said in a statement issued by the White House.

He explained that «he does not need any additional oxygen, but in consultation with specialists we chose to start treatment with Remdesivir.

He has completed his first dose and is currently resting. ”

For her part, Trump campaign spokeswoman Kylie McNani said that Trump received remdesivir after consulting with specialists.

She added in a statement that the president "does not need additional oxygen."

She indicated earlier that, "In a precautionary measure, and based on the recommendation of his doctor and medical experts, President Trump will work from the presidential offices of Walter Reed during the next few days."

Trump's hospitalization is a measure to make sure the president's "mild" symptoms do not worsen.

This sudden development adds to the uncertainty of the situation regarding the upcoming US elections on the third of November, as Trump, who lags behind his Democratic opponent Joe Biden in opinion polls, was forced to freeze a large part of his campaign.

At first, the president's aides gave optimistic assessments of Trump's condition, and White House chief of staff Mark Meadows said the 74-year-old president had mild symptoms and was "in good spirits" and was "feeling very energetic."

But later, a letter from White House physician Sean Connelly suggested a more serious situation.

Conley said Trump received a dose of the antibody combination from Regeneron, a treatment in the clinical trial phase, but that regulators have yet to approve its widespread use.

"A team of experts is assessing his condition, and we will make recommendations to the president and first lady regarding the best next steps," he added.

President Donald Trump Jr's son told Fox News that his father "takes it very seriously, of course, but he's a fighter."

Trump's illness turned the race to the White House upside down after Biden suddenly found himself alone in the campaign trail and able to prove that his more cautious approach to "Covid-19" was justified.

Biden made the Trump administration about the epidemic crisis, especially mixed messages about wearing masks, the focus of his election campaign, while Trump repeatedly tried to divert attention to areas in which he felt powerful, such as the economy.

Biden, who stood close to Trump for 90 minutes during the first debate between the two candidates Tuesday in Cleveland, announced that the results of the Corona virus test for him and his wife, Jill, were negative on Friday.

In a move that underscores his surprising advantage in the presidential race, Biden, 77, traveled to Grand Rapids in Michigan, where he is scheduled to hold a rally.

Biden said he prays for Trump and his family, and his campaign has announced that it will remove all negative ads.

Biden also reminded voters that he has consistently advocated for taking seriously the Corona virus that has killed more than 208,000 Americans, unlike his opponent who repeatedly mocked him for his adherence to using masks.

"This is very important," Biden told supporters in Michigan, commenting on the issue of wearing masks.

"Therefore, be patriot," he added.

It is not a matter of obstinacy.

It is about participating in the team effort.

This is not a policy issue.

It is a strong reminder to all of us that we need to take this virus seriously.

It will not disappear automatically. ”

Meanwhile, Biden's team announced new events: his wife Jill will visit Minnesota while former rival Sen. Bernie Sanders will visit New Hampshire on his behalf, and Biden's deputy Senator Kamala Harris was in Nevada on Friday.

The confirmation of Trump's traumatic injury was a severe blow to his efforts to win a second term, as it halted his nationwide campaign to catch up in opinion polls.

The Trump campaign said that all planned events related to the president have been postponed or will take place online, starting with the cancellation of a gathering in Florida and another in Wisconsin and others in Western states such as Arizona, next week, until the second debate between Trump and Biden, scheduled for October 15, became Now in doubt.

Rallies are so central to Trump's campaign that his sudden inability to travel leaves his campaign team struggling to reshape his strategy.

In addition, Trump has often focused his re-election campaign on the issue that the coronavirus risks are overblown.

Leaders from around the world wished Trump and the first lady a speedy recovery, and Chinese President Xi Jinping yesterday wished the US president a speedy recovery from the Corona virus, and the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that Xi and his wife Ping Liyuan in a message expressed their sympathy with Trump and First Lady Melania and said that they “hope for Speedy recovery »for them.

Former US President Barack Obama also sent President Trump his "best wishes" for a recovery, highlighting at the same time the "great political battle" between Democrats and Republicans.

Speaking on behalf of his wife, Michelle, Obama also said: "Although we are in the midst of a major political battle, and we take that very seriously, we also want to send our best wishes to the president of the United States and the first lady."

Yesterday, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un expressed his sympathy to the US president and his wife after they were confirmed to be infected with the Coronavirus.

And according to an article published by North Korea's official Central News Agency, "Kim sincerely expressed his hope that they would be cured as soon as possible, and he also expressed his hope that they would surely overcome him (the virus)."

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said he had no doubt that the US president would recover well.
