At least one of the medications the president is taking can bring down fever, so it is not clear if his temperature is truly back to normal, according to doctors not involved in his care. Mr. Trump received supplemental oxygen on Friday and Saturday when his blood oxygen level dropped…
Doctors not involved in Mr. Trump’s treatment said he was still at risk and that a Monday discharge would be atypical for a patient with his characteristics and risk factors, including age, gender, and weight.

That also corresponds to the window during which patients can quickly worsen.
