US President Donald Trump now intends to participate in the next presidential debate just a day after he was prematurely discharged from quarrantine facilities.
Trump, who shortly after being released from hospital declared himself a champion against the scourge, says he will participate in the second debate scheduled on October 15 in Miami, Florida.
Trump was discharged from the Walter Reed National Medical Center after doctors treating him found that he was fit enough to go back home.
White House physician Dr Sean Conley told reporters at the Walter Reed National Military Center, Trump has exceeded all standard hospital discharge criteria.
After returning to the White House, Trump in an unusual decision climbed up to the South Portico stairs, instead of the elevators, to go to his residence.
After taking off the mask, the US President stood up in the portico facing South Lawns for a few minutes and saluted Marine One.
In a recorded video message, Trump, while referring to the deadly virus, said, “Don’t let it dominate you. Don’t be afraid of it”. He added, “We’re going back, we’re going back to work. We’re going to be out front. Don’t let it dominate your lives. Get out there, be careful”.
