President of the United States of America, Donald Trump, has announced that he is leaving the hospital where he is undergoing treatment for COVID-19.
The President said he now feels better “than I did 20 years ago.”
Recall that Trump and his wife tested positive for COVID-19 late last week.
Trump said on Monday evening that he is ready to leave the Walter Reed Medical Centre, urging Americans not to be afraid of coronavirus.
Trump tweeted, “I will be leaving the great Walter Reed Medical Center today at 6:30 P.M. Feeling really good! Don’t be afraid of COVID.
“Don’t let it dominate your life. We have developed, under the Trump Administration, some really great drugs and knowledge. I feel better than I did 20 years ago!”
In another report, it was learnt that President Trump had returned to the White House, where he will continue to receive treatment for Covid-19, according to NY Times.

Donald Trump’s condition reportedly gets worse
His physician, Dr Sean P. Conley, had earlier reported that the president was not “out of the woods yet.”
Mr Trump, wearing a mask and a suit, passed through the hospital’s large golden doors, paused atop a flight of steps and pumped his fist a few times at chest level. He did not respond to shouted questions from the news media as he walked past, unaccompanied. “Thank you very much, everybody,” he said with a wave.
Mr Trump then boarded a black S.U.V. that drove him to his presidential helicopter, Marine One, for the short flight to the White House. He offered a thumbs-up just before stepping onto his helicopter, which departed just after 6:45 p.m. for the 10-minute flight.
After landing on the South Lawn, Mr Trump ascended a flight of stairs and then turned to face his helicopter — and the live television cameras — and removed his mask before giving the departing Marine One a long salute.
He then turned and walked into the White House residence — without donning his mask. Several masked people, including what appeared to be an official photographer capturing the moment, were inside.
