Trump is currently being treated at Walter Reed National Military Medical Centre after him and his wife Melania announced they tested positive for COVID-19 on Friday.

"I came here, wasn’t feeling so well. I feel much better now. We’re working hard to get me all the way back," Trump said in the four minute video. 

"I’ll be back, I think I’ll be back soon. And I look forward to finishing up the campaign the way it was started." 

Trump also gave an update on Melania, saying she was "doing very well" and "handling it very nicely".

Premier Daniel Andrews calls out "selfish" Melbourne beachgoers.

Police will continue to patrol beaches across Melbourne after Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews called out "selfish" beachgoers for not wearing masks and failing to maintain social distancing.

Large crowds were seen ignoring restrictions at St Kilda Beach in recent days, raising concern for the state's COVID-19 recovery.

"No one has the right to break the rules and potentially put at risk everything that good, decent law-abiding Victorians have created, have built," the premier said on Saturday. 

"All of their sacrifice has to be worth something."

"Spending time at the beach without a mask, without social distancing now will just mean that you won't get to go to the beach for all of summer. It just doesn't make any sense."

Melbourne’s bayside councils have also threatened to close beaches.

Chief Health Officer Brett Sutton said disobeying restrictions was "an insult to everyone who's done it tough for months and months and months".

Both Andrews and Sutton have repeatedly urged the Melbourne population to remain disciplined, especially as warm weather tempts people out of their homes.

COVID-19 cases in Britain rise to record level. 

Britain has reported close to 13,000 new COVID-19 cases, a record daily figure for the country. 

On Saturday, the country reported 12,872 cases, almost double from the 6,968 cases reported on Friday. The new figures also exceeded the previous biggest daily toll of 7,143, which was recorded on Tuesday.

The government is blaming the jump on a reporting delay, after a technical issue affected the publishing of a number of new COVID-19 cases. 

"This means the total reported over the coming days will include some additional cases from the period between 24 September and 1 October, increasing the number of cases reported," the government said. 

Britain is currently processing more than 200,000 COVID-19 tests a day compared to the less than 100,000 tests they were processing at the start of the pandemic.
