Coronavirus live updates: Trump can return to 'public engagements' on Saturday, doctor says
A pandemic of thenovel coronavirushas now killed more than 1 million people worldwide.
Over 36.4 million peopleacross the globehave been diagnosed with COVID-19, the disease caused bythe new respiratory virus, according todata compiled by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. The criteria for diagnosis -- through clinical means or a lab test -- has varied from country-to-country. Still, the actual numbers are believed to be much higher due to testing shortages, many unreported cases and suspicions that some national governments are hiding or downplaying the scope of their outbreaks.
Since the first cases were detected inChinain December, the virus has rapidly spread to every continent except Antarctica.
The United States is the worst-affected country, with more than 7.6 million diagnosed cases andat least 212,716 deaths.
California has the most cases of any U.S. state, with more than 845,000 people diagnosed, according to Johns Hopkins data. California is followed by Texas and Florida, with over 807,000 cases and over 726,000 cases, respectively.
More than 190 vaccine candidates for COVID-19 are being tracked by the World Health Organization, at least 10 of which are in crucial phase three studies. Of those 10 in late-stage trials, there are currently five that will be available in the United States if approved.

Trump says he may hold campaign event Saturday in Florida
Fresh off a declaration from his doctor that he can resume "public engagements" on Saturday, the president told Fox News' Sean Hannity Thursday night that he hopes to hold a rally over the weekend in Florida.
"I think I'm going to try doing a rally on Saturday night if we have enough time to put it together, but we want to do a rally probably in Florida on Saturday night," Trump told Hannity. "I might come back and do one in Pennsylvania the following night and it's incredible what's going on. I feel so good."
Dr. Sean Conley, his physician, said in a letter earlier in the evening that Trump was doing well, had no symptoms and should be able to hold public events again 10 days after he was diagnosed.
Trump said he will be tested for the virus on Friday. He wasn't clear on when his last test had been.
He also reiterated he will not take part in a virtual town hall ashad been planned for Oct. 15due to his illness, and will instead hold a rally on that night. Joe Biden is set tohold a town hallin Philadelphia with ABC News as host.

"Since returning home, his physical exam has remained stable and devoid of any indications of illness," Dr. Sean Conley wrote. "Overall he's responded extremely well to treatment, without evidence on examination of adverse therapeutic effects."
President Donald Trump stands on the balcony outside of the Blue Room as returns to the White House Monday, Oct. 5, 2020.
The doctor also said Trump should be able to return to the campaign trail on Saturday. Trump had fought for an in-person debate with former Vice President Donald Trump this week, but the Commission on Presidential Debates decided to make the event virtual and Trumpsaid he would not participate.
"Saturday will be day 10 since Thursday's diagnosis, and based on the trajectory of advanced diagnostics the team has been conducting, I fully anticipate the President's safe return to public engagements at that time," Conley wrote.
