President Donald Trump’s most recent COVID-19 tests came back negative, on consecutive days, according to White House Physician, Dr. Sean Conley.
“In response to your inquiry regarding the President’s most recent COVID-19 tests, I can share with you that he has tested NEGATIVE, on consecutive days, using the Abbott BinaxNOW antigen card,” Conley said in a statement.
Conley said the test was not used in isolation to determine President Trump’s current negative status.
“Repeatedly negative antigen tests, taken in context with additional clinical and laboratory data, including viral load, subgenomic RNA, and PCR cycle threshold measurement, as well as ongoing assessment of viral culture data, all indicate a lack of detectable viral replication,” Conley said.
This evening, President Trump returned to the campaign trail for the first time since receiving coronavirus treatment.
Trump announced Oct. 2 that he had tested positive for the disease caused by the coronavirus.
He was admitted to Walter Reed military hospital that night and released on Oct. 5.
Over the weekend, Trump addressed scores of supporters who crowded onto the White House lawn from a balcony.
