| Seven hours after a defiant President Donald Trump resumed public events Saturday with a divisive speech from a White House balcony in front of hundreds of guests, his doctor released a memo clearing him to return to an active schedule.
Trump's Saturday event, which featured little social distancing, came just two weeks after a large White House gathering that has since been called "a superpreader event" and potentially put lives at risk once again, just nine days after the President revealed his own Covid-19 diagnosis.
The latest memo from Trump's physician, Navy Cmdr. Dr. Sean Conley, said that the President has met US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention criteria for :the safe continuation of isolation." But it does not say Trump has received a negative coronavirus test since first testing positive for the virus, although that is not a criteria for clearing isolation, according to the CDC."
"This evening I am happy to report that in addition to the President meeting CDC criteria for the safe discontinuation of isolation, this morning's COVID PCR sample demonstrates, by currently recognized standards, he is no longer considered a transmission risk to others," the memo from Conley reads in part.
