U.S. President Donald Trump will stay at a military hospital for the next few days after testing positive for COVID-19, the White House said on Friday.


In a statement, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said Trump, who has mild symptoms, remains in good spirits and has been working throughout the day.

"Out of an abundance of caution, and at the recommendation of his physician and medical experts, the President will be working from the presidential offices at Walter Reed for the next few days," McEnany said, referring to a military hospital in Bethesda, Maryland.

"President Trump appreciates the outpouring of support for both he and the First Lady," the press secretary added.

White House communications aide Alyssa Farah told CNN that Trump has not transferred his power temporarily to Vice President Mike Pence under the 25th amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

"The president is in charge," she said.
