remained hospitalised Saturday for an experimental Covid-19 treatment, but said he was"well," following bombshell news that he had contracted the virus, knocking him off the campaign trail a month from the US election.

Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said Trump was receiving the anti-viral drug remdesivir following consultation with specialists. The president was"not requiring any supplemental oxygen," she said in a statement late Friday. At first, aides gave rosy assessments, with Trump's chief of staff saying the president, 74, had only mild symptoms, was in"good spirits" and feeling"very energetic."

Biden has made Trump's frequent downplaying of the pandemic and mixed messaging on mask-wearing a central campaign theme, while Trump has tried to shift the narrative to areas where he feels stronger, like the economy. However, Biden also reminded voters that he has pushed consistently for taking seriously the coronavirus, which has killed more than 208,000 Americans, unlike his opponent who has mocked the Democrat for his rigorous use of masks.

The White House said it was carrying out contact tracing, while Melania Trump's spokeswoman said the couple's 14-year-old son Barron had tested negative.
