White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows says President Donald Trump passed through a very worrisome period on Friday, when he tested positive for the coronavirus. He says Trump has recovered significantly since then, and his temperature has returned to normal, but that his condition needs to be closely watched over the next few days.
Trump uploaded a video message on his Twitter account from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Saturday night. He said he was starting to feel better and hoped to "be back soon."
Earlier in day, Meadows told Fox News in a phone interview that Trump had a fever, and that his blood oxygen level had dropped rapidly, adding: "We were real concerned."
Meadows said Trump had since made a huge improvement, adding: "I'm very, very optimistic based on the current results." But he said, "He's not out of the woods for the next 48 hours or so."
When asked by the TV host if "the next 48 hours" started at the moment Trump was hospitalized, Meadows said he would not speak on behalf of Trump's physician.
Trump also said in his video message that the next few days would be critical.

Sudan's transitional authorities and several rebel groups have signed a peace deal aimed at resolving decades of conflict.
A signing ceremony was held on Saturday in Juba, the capital of neighboring South Sudan. The head of Sudan's sovereign council, Abdel-Fattah al-Burhan, and representatives from rebel groups attended.
The deal is the result of long negotiations after President Omar al-Bashir was overthrown last year in a coup sparked by public protests. Bashir was in power for three decades.
The pact includes a comprehensive ceasefire. The parties also agreed that rebel fighters will be integrated in the Sudanese military and some regions will be granted autonomy.
But two major rebel groups have yet to take part in the pact. Burhan showed willingness to continue negotiations with them.
Attention is focused on whether the agreement will lead to an end to the civil war that has continued for decades. The Darfur conflict in the west left 300,000 people dead and was described as the world's worst humanitarian crisis.

About 200 victims of sexual crimes and their supporters gathered in central Tokyo to call on a lawmaker to resign and retract her claim that women can tell lies about sexual assaults.
Sugita Mio, a Liberal Democratic Party member of the Lower House, said at a meeting of party lawmakers last month that "women can tell lies as much as they want."
She initially denied making the remark, but apologized in a blog post on Thursday after LDP policy chief Shimomura Hakubun gave her a verbal warning.
The group behind the "Flower Demo" to protest sexual crimes held a rally on Saturday at Tokyo Station.
Carrying flowers, many said telling lies does not benefit victims at all.
Others said remarks like Sugita's can silence vulnerable people and give a boost to offenders.
The group ran an online petition on the issue, attracting about 130,000 signatures that it is asking the LDP to accept.
