President Donald Trump was taken to Walter Reed Military Medical Center early Friday evening and will spend the “next few days” there, the White House said after Trump announced earlier in the day that he had tested positive for Covid-19.

The president was seen walking on the White House South Lawn to Marine One under his own power around 6:15 p.m. and sporting a mask — notable given the president‘s aversion to wearing one in public and his frequent mockery of his Democratic rival, Joe Biden, and others for doing so even when they are far from others. The president landed at 6:29 p.m., and he posted a video to his Twitter account of him assuring people that he was in good condition.
