President Trump says he is on the road to recovery after being hospitalised with Covid-19 on Friday. He was put on a course of treatments normally prescribed for more severe cases as his oxygen levels fluctuated over the weekend. Trump surprised fans and well-wishers with a motorcade drive-by yesterday as contact tracing within the White House was ramped up. Asian markets have rallied and European and U.S. futures are up after the President’s physician predicted he could be discharged later today. Meanwhile in Europe, case numbers rise with Paris and Berlin emerging as new virus hotspots.
