Trump going to hospital after Covid diagnosis

Donald Trump will spend a “few days” at a military hospital after contracting Covid-19, the White House said Friday.

Trump was to depart the White House by helicopter late Friday for Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, a White House official said. The official said the visit was precautionary and that Trump would work from the hospital’s presidential suite, which is equipped to allow him to continue his official duties.
