The White House Medical Office advised Treasury Secretary Mnuchin that based on his very limited contact with the president, he doesn’t need to quarantine. Follow along for the latest developments.
The White House didn’t say whether the president or first lady were displaying any symptoms, although White House physician Sean Conley said early Friday that they were both “well at this time” and planned to remain at the White House while they recovered.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, people in their 60s and 70s are “at higher risk for severe illness than people in their 50s.” However, the greatest risk for severe illness is among those aged 85 or older. People of any age are at increased risk of severe illness from Covid-19 if they suffer from cancer, chronic kidney disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, a weakened immune system, obesity, serious heart conditions, coronary artery disease, sickle cell disease or Type 2 diabetes mellitus. In a June memo, Dr. Conley said Mr. Trump remained healthy. Mr. Trump is 6 feet, 3 inches tall and weighed 244 pounds. That narrowly put him in the obese category, according to a CDC calculator of body-mass index. Mr. Trump also takes medication used to treat high cholesterol, and the president’s cholesterol numbers are in the range that the CDC considers to be normal.
