United States (US) President Donald Trump, who was hospitalized after testing COVID–19 positive, has returned to work fever-free.
Trump on Wednesday held briefings at the Oval Office less than a week after he contracted the novel Coronavirus.
The president has had no virus symptoms for more than 24 hours and has been fever-free for more than four days, his doctor said.
In a video message on Wednesday, Trump said he felt “great”, adding: “I think this was a blessing from God.”

He said he wanted all Americans to have access to the treatments he was given.
The president also promised to provide the drugs produced by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals free of charge.
He said the experimental antibody cocktail he was given last week was a cure rather than a therapeutic measure, adding that hundreds of thousands of doses were nearly ready.
“This was a blessing in disguise – I caught it, I heard about this drug, I said let me take it and it was incredible,” he said.
Trump further added that he would seek emergency use authorizations for the drugs.
President Trump renewed his attacks on China, telling Americans: “You’re not going to pay for it. It wasn’t your fault that this happened. It was China’s fault. And China is going to pay a big price. This was China’s fault.”
Earlier, Dr. Conley said the president had not needed any supplemental oxygen since going to the hospital on Friday. He was discharged on Monday.
