President Donald Trump is preparing to leave hospital despite still being infected with Covid-19.

A short time ago, the President announced on Twitter that he'll be leaving the Walter Reed Medical Center within the day.

He wrote: "Feeling really good! Don't be afraid of Covid. Don't let it dominate your life. We have developed, under the Trump Administration, some really great drugs & knowledge. I feel better than I did 20 years ago!"
