Police units have cordoned off the area near where US President Donald Trump is under treatment for the novel coronavirus after spotting an abandoned “suspicious package”.
As per details from the US media, a tactical unit was notified about the backpack left near the Walter Reed Hospital.
The incident comes a day after Donald Trump’s personal physician announced that Trump is doing “very well” after being moved to the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
“This evening I am happy to report that the President is doing very well. He is not requiring any supplemental oxygen, but in consultation with specialists we have elected to initiate Remdesivir therapy,” said US Navy Commander Sean Conley in a statement shared by the White House.
The New York Times reported that Trump was flown to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center after being given a dose of the experimental drug Remdesivir for antibody treatment.
Before his departure, the US president also released a video on Twitter account thanking everyone for their “tremendous support”.
“I’m going to Walter Reed hospital. I think I’m doing very well, but we’re going to make sure that things work out,” said Trump in the 18-second video.
Reports from inside sources yesterday indicated that Trump was nervous, as he kept on asking medical doctors if he was going to die, or how severe COVID-19 is.
