President Donald Trump will be hospitalized at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and remain there for"the next few days," the White House said Friday afternoon.
There has been no transfer of power to Vice President Mike Pence, said White House spokeswoman Alyssa Farah."The President is in charge," she said. An administration official said Pence was working from his residence at the Naval Observatory and remains in good health.Trump has had a fever since Friday morning, a person familiar with the matter said, though an official said the fever remains consistent with the White House's description of"mild symptoms."
The decision to give Trump an experimental monoclonal antibody cocktail illustrates how concerned the White House may be about his Covid-19 diagnosis, Dr. Jonathan Reiner, CNN medical analyst and professor at George Washington University, told CNN on Friday.
