Trump returns to White House

WASHINGTON—After convalescing over the weekend at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., President Donald Trump returned to the White House on Monday. He posted a video to Twitter telling Americans about the virus, “Don’t be afraid of it.” The president’s personal physician, Dr. Sean Conley, said Trump had “met or exceeded all discharge criteria” and could finish recovering at home.

Is the coronavirus still spreading in Washington? Kayleigh McEnany, the White House press secretary since April, announced on Monday that she tested positive. She held a news conference on Thursday and spoke to reporters on Sunday but tweeted that the White House medical staff did not consider any members of the press “close contacts.” She will quarantine but said she had no symptoms.
