US Prez Trump ventures out in a car, ignores precaution to contain coronavirus

Agency: US President Donald Trump ventured out in a motorcade to salute cheering supporters, ignoring precaution which he has to take to contain the coronavirus.

Hours earlier, Trump’s medical team said that his blood oxygen level dropped suddenly twice in recent days. The doctors said that he would be discharged as early as Monday.

Trump was eager to salute his supporters despite being infected with Covid-19. He surprised the supporters who were gathered outside Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. He drove in black SUV looking outside the window.

Though the US President wore a mask, there are concerns that he might have transmitted the infection to secret service staff inside the car.

Trump was in hospital since Friday due to Covid-19 infection. The pandemic has affected around 7.4 million and killed 2,10,000 people across the US, according to Johns Hopkins University.
