US President Donald Trump
tested negative for Covid
, the White House doctor said.
"The president," said his personal physician Sean Conley, "tested negative for several days in a row and is not contagious."
The announcement was made as Trump boarded Air Force One to go to Florida and resume the election campaign.
In response to your question about the president's most recent covid-19 tests, I can inform you that he
tested
negative for several consecutive days
using (the test) Abbott BinaxNOW
, "Conley said, in a letter released by the White House ten days after Trump announced that he had tested positive for the disease.
With the conviction that he is immune to "the horrible virus of China", the president of the United States, Donald Trump,
resumes this Monday his campaign actions
outside the White House since he contracted COVID-19 with a rally in Sanford, in central Florida.
"See you in Sanford, Florida
, tonight for a big rally," the president wrote this morning on his official Twitter account, and after declaring to the Fox network on Sunday that he is "immune" to the coronavirus, more than a week after testing positive for COVID-19, and ensuring that he is "in very good shape to fight the battles."
Trump was so confident after his White House doctor, Sean Conley, issued a report at the weekend in which he indicated that the president
"is no longer considered a transmission risk for others,"
although he did not respond to the question of when was the last coronavirus test in which the president was negative.
Trump's rally in Florida is held a week after he left Walter Reed Military Hospital and after a first public rally with supporters held Saturday on a White House balcony after contracting the disease.
The event in Sanford has motivated criticism of the president,
for the danger that he could still be an agent of contagion
, and even a legal lawsuit with a view to its cancellation filed by the lawyer Daniel Uhlfelder, because the act "is a nuisance ".
Democratic candidate Joe Biden said Monday that Trump's Florida rally will carry only
"reckless behavior, divisive rhetoric and more fear."
"He does not have a plan to control this virus that has killed more than 15,000 Floridians, he does not have a plan to protect Floridians' health care from his administration's attacks on the Affordable Care Act" (Obamacare) added the former vice president (2009-2017) in a statement.
Following the Florida rally, the president is planning other campaign events this week in the states of Pennsylvania and Iowa, with which he intends to gain ground, according to the latest polls.
According to a poll released on Sunday by ABC News and
The Washington Post,
Biden leads Trump by 12 points in the intention of popular vote, while according to the average of polls carried out by RealClear Politics, the Democrat carries a advantage of 10.6 percentage points.
