In a memo released by the White House, Dr Sean Conley said Mr Trump had been tested using an Abbott Laboratories BinaxNOW antigen card.
He said the negative tests and other clinical and laboratory data "indicate a lack of detectable viral replication".

He was admitted to Walter Reed military hospital that night and released three days later.
