President Donald Trump will hold his first rally on the campaign trail since his Covid-19 diagnosis, heading to Florida on Monday. He will address to a group on the White House South Lawn Saturday. The government’s top infectious disease doctor termed the Rose Garden ceremony that preceded a series of coronavirus infections among officials and staff a “super-spreader” event.

Trump first unveiled his positive test for the coronavirus early Oct. 2, and credits an antibody treatment from Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. for a quick recovery. He returned to the Oval Office Wednesday after working from the White House residence following his departure from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
