From Morning Report, 7:22 am on 5 October 2020

Donald Trump's doctors say the president's condition has "continued to improve" since the last medical update and he could be discharged from hospital as soon as tomorrow.

Speaking outside the Walter Reed Medical Center in Maryland a short time ago, his team of doctors said Trump was given supplementary oxygen after his oxygen levels dropped twice and he is also being treated with dexamethasone - a steroid for patients with severe Covid-19.
