WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is returning to the campaign trail and will hold his first rally since his COVID-19 diagnosis on Monday in Florida.
Trump’s campaign says the event will take place at 7:00 p.m. in Sanford.
The rally will be Trump’s first since he tested positive for the coronavirus October 1 with just weeks to go before voting ends in the November 3 election.
Trump’s doctor, Sean P. Conley, said in a memo Thursday that he “fully anticipated” that Trump would be able to safely “return to public engagements” as soon as Saturday.
On Saturday, Trump is planning to hold his first in-person event since testing positive for the coronavirus.
Two weeks after the Rose Garden event that is now considered a “superspreader,” Trump is planning to convene another large crowd outside the White House for an event on “law and order.”
That’s despite the ongoing White House COVID-19 outbreak.
An official says Trump will address the group from a White House balcony.
The official declined to say how many people had been invited.
