US President Donald Trump on October 1 announced that he and his wife Melania were positive for nCoV, then hospitalized in Maryland for treatment.

Sean Conley, Trump's doctor, said the President "is fine and has made significant progress since being diagnosed with nCoV", has no fever and no additional oxygen.

In a video from the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where Trump is treating Covid-19, the US President said he felt much better than when he first arrived, declaring "soon to return".
