WASHINGTON, D.C. (WCBD) Dr. Sean P. Conley, Physician to the President, on Friday announced that President Donald Trump is receiving treatment for COVID-19 after testing positive for the virus early Friday morning.

Conley said that POTUS received a single 8-gram dose of Regenerons polyclonal antibody cocktail via infusion.

President Trump is also taking zinc, vitamin D, famotidine, melatonin, and a daily aspirin, according to the letter. It is unclear whether this regiment is related to his COVID-19 diagnosis.

According to the National Institutes of Health, zinc is a natural mineral and immunity booster often used to reduce the severity and duration of cold symptoms.

Vitamin D, most often associated with sunlight, may be used for the reduction of inflammation as well as modulation of such processes as cell growth, neuromuscular and immune function, and glucose metabolism, according to the National Institutes of Health.

Famotidine is a heartburn relief and acid-reducing drug.

Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone often taken as a sleep aid.

Aspirin is taken for a variety of reasons. It can serve as an anti-inflammatory, fever reducer, pain reliever, and blood thinner.

Despite feeling fatigued, Conely reports that the President is in good spirits.

First Lady Melania Trump also tested positive and is experiencing mild symptoms as well. There is no word on whether the First Lady has received treatment.
