President Trump's physician, Dr. Sean Conley, said on Monday evening that Trump has tested negative for COVID-19 "on consecutive days," but did not give specific dates.
He shared the news in a memo to White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany. Conley wrote that Trump was tested "using the Abbott BinaxNOW antigen card," and it is "important to note that this test was not used in isolation for the determination of the president's current negative status."
Trump left Washington, D.C., on Monday afternoon for Florida, where he will hold a rally in Sanford — his first since being hospitalized with COVID-19 earlier this month. Trump was not wearing a mask when he boarded Air Force One.
