WASHINGTON, DC: US President Donald Trump is no longer capable of spreading the novel coronavirus and can attend a town hall on Thursday without putting others at risk, top US public health official Anthony Fauci said in an interview with CBS Evening News.

Fauci said that he and his colleague Clifford Lane at the National Institutes of Health concluded this after reviewing all the COVID-19 tests taken by the president as well as an additional test conducted at an NIH laboratory.Trump revealed early on Oct 2 that he had tested positive for the novel coronavirus. He said he had recovered and was no longer contagious the following week.

The town hall with NBC News is less than three weeks before the election in which Republican Trump is trailing Democratic candidate Joe Biden in opinion polls.Fauci also said in the CBS interview that the United States was unlikely to have 100 million doses of a vaccine deemed by regulators as"safe and effective" available by the end of the year, contrary to a claim Trump made in September.
