Trump continuing to improve during virus treatment — doctor

US President Donald Trump “has continued to improve” but faced serious symptoms on Friday, the White House physician says, seeking to clarify contradictory statements and confusion that previously raised questions about the seriousness of the president’s condition.

Navy Cmdr. Dr. Sean Conley acknowledges the confusion and offers new details as he addresses the media from on the steps of Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where Trump is being treated for COVID-19.

Conley says the president had a “high fever” and a blood oxygen level below 94% on Friday before he was hospitalized.

“The president has continued to improve,” Conley says.
