White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows claims President Trump is in "very good health" and is working, less than a week after being diagnosed with the coronavirus.
Meadows told reporters that Trump wanted to go to the Oval Office yesterday. Chief White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow told CNBC that Trump did return to the Oval Office yesterday and is "recovering quite rapidly." He would not say whether Trump wore a facemask or not.
After Kudlow's comments, White House spokesman Ben Williamson tweeted that Trump was not in the Oval Office yesterday, though he wanted to be there.
Meadows said the White House has implemented additional "safety protocols."
More than 15 White House staffers have been diagnosed with the coronavirus, along with First Lady Melania Trump.
The President returned to the White House Monday evening after spending three days at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. Many health experts on cable news programs have warned that Trump remains highly contagious.
