President arrives at White House, removes mask and salutes
In a tweet announcing the move, Trump wrote, "Don't be afraid of Covid."
President Donald Trump's condition is continuing to improve as he fights a coronavirus infection, doctors said, and he left Walter Reed Medical Center on Monday evening, landing at the White House shortly before 7 p.m.
Doctors also reported that Trump, over the course of exhibiting coronavirus symptoms, had earlier experienced two episodes of "transient drops" in his oxygen saturation.
Yet the president was feeling well enough Sunday evening to briefly leave Walter Reed for a surprise drive-by, waving to supporters outside the hospital.
Administration member Judd Deere subsequently put out a statement saying that, "President Trump took a short, last-minute motorcade ride to wave to his supporters outside and has now returned to the Presidential Suite inside Walter Reed."
Meanwhile, numerous questions remain about how many people at the highest levels of government had been exposed to the virus after a week of events involving the president where social distancing and mask-wearing were lax in the White House and elsewhere.

Trump received oxygen treatment twice
Dr. Conley, when questioned, told reporters that Trump had two episodes that required he receive oxygen treatment and "recovered immediately."
On Sunday Conley would only confirm there was one time where Trump needed oxygen but said he would need to check with the nurses assisting with the president's treatment.
"He wasn't short of breath, he wasn't looking ill. It was more of us trying to anticipate needs and see how he’d respond, and both cases he came right off. He didn't need it for very long at all," Conley said.
Dr. Conley was asked and refused to comment on President Trump's tweet telling people "Don't be afraid of Covid."
"I'm not going to get into what the president says," Conley told reporters.
'In a bit of uncharted territory' with Trump treatment
Dr. Conley, the president's physician, was asked about concerns of Trump's symptoms becoming worse after he is discharged and said the team remains "cautiously optimistic" and "on guard."
"We are in a bit of uncharted territory when it comes to a patient that received therapies he has so early in the course," he said. "If we can get through to Monday with him remaining the same or improving, better yet, then we will all take that final deep sigh of relief."
