Dr. Sean Conley — the president’s doctor — said Thursday that Trump is mostly symptom free and has completed therapy for COVID-19.

Conley said Trump can return to public engagements as well, which I wrote about for Deseret.com.

  • “Today the president has completed his course of therapy for COVID-19 as prescribed by his team of physicians. ... Saturday will be day 10 since Thursday’s diagnosis, and based on the trajectory of advanced diagnostics the team has been conducting, I fully anticipate the president’s safe return to public engagements at that time.”
