Tests of samples taken Saturday morning from the president show that 'by currently recognized standards, he is no longer considered a transmission risk,' White House physician Sean Conley wrote.
President Donald Trump "no longer poses an infection risk" to others and can safely end his isolation period, according to a memo released Saturday night by White House physician Sean Conley, just over a week after the president announced his Covid-19 diagnosis.
The CDC says that most patients should isolate for at least 10 days after the start of their symptoms, and can end isolation at or beyond that point when their symptoms ebb and they have gone at least 24 hours without a fever. But some severely ill patients may need to isolate for at least 20 days, the agency says.
Conley also said the president's medical team could not find any evidence that the coronavirus is replicating in his body, and the amount of virus present in Trump's body has decreased over time.
