President Donald Trump has returned to the Oval Office for the first time since he was diagnosed and hospitalized with COVID-19.
Spokesperson Brian Morgenstern confirmed that the president returned to the Oval Office on Wednesday. He has been convalescing in the White House residence since he returned from a three-night hospital stay on Monday evening.
Trump may still be contagious with the virus.
A Marine was posted outside the West Wing, signifying the president was in the Oval Office.
White House officials say they have put additional safety protocols in place to protect staff who may interact with the president, including requiring full personal protective equipment.
Morgenstern says Trump is being briefed on stimulus talks and a potentially devastating hurricane heading toward the Gulf Coast.
