1:01Now PlayingSenate Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) said Friday, October 2, that he spoke with President Donald Trump after he tested positive for coronavirus. “He was in good spirits…not happy to be cooped up in the White House for a while,” McConnell said.
Trump is in “good spirits” after his Covid-19 diagnosis on Friday and has been treated with a Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. “antibody cocktail,” the White House physician said.
“Following PCR-confirmation of the president’s diagnosis, as a precautionary measure he received a single 8 gram dose of Regenerons’s polyclonal antibody cocktail,” the physician, Sean Conley, said in a statement released by White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany.
“In addition to the polyclonal antibodies, the president has been taking zinc, vitamin D, famotidine, melatonin and a daily aspirin.”
Trump “remains fatigued but is in good spirits,” Conley said. First lady Melania Trump, who is also infected, “remains well with only a mild cough and headache,” he said.
