After one whole day confined to the White House residence, Trump will be free to emerge Wednesday.

Trump returned from Walter Reed Medical Center on Monday after testing positive for COVID-19 and being hospitalized for three days. Despite still being contagious with the virus, Trump is expected to work from the Oval Office on Wednesday, White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows said. His "schedule right now is fluid, we're looking at his prognosis," Meadows said, but if Trump does go in, "we've got safety protocols there."
