Donald Trump will speak at an event in Florida on Monday, returning to the campaign trail after his coronavirus diagnosis.
Mr Trump will speak at the event at the Orlando Sanford International Airport, his team said.
The president is also expected to address supporters from a balcony at the White House on Saturday.
The White House had earlier said the US president was keen to return to campaigning ahead of the presidential election, and that he would likely be tested for COVID-19 again.
With less than a month to go before the vote on 3 November, the US president is trailing in the polls behind his Democratic rival Joe Biden.
Mr Trump, who was diagnosed with coronavirus on 1 October and spent three days in hospital, told Fox News he was likely to be tested for the virus later on Friday.
"He wants to talk to the American people, and he wants to be out there," White House spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany told Fox News.
"Logistically, whether tomorrow's possible, it would be tough. It'd be a decision up to the campaign."
Mr Trump's personal physician said the president would be able to safely return to public engagements this weekend.
In a memo, his doctor, Sean Conley, said: "Saturday will be day 10 since Thursday's diagnosis, and based on the trajectory of advanced diagnostics the team has done, I expect the president's safe return to public engagement at that time."
But aides admitted he was unlikely to hold any in-person events until at least Monday.
It came as the Democrats called into question his fitness for office.
Senior Democrat Nancy Pelosi has unveiled plans for new legislation that would set up a board of experts who could judge if a president is unfit for office.
Mrs Pelosi, who as Speaker of the House of Representatives is second in the line of succession to the presidency after Vice President Mike Pence, made the announcement amid questions over Mr Trump's ability to lead following his COVID-19 diagnosis and treatment.
The bipartisan panel would need the agreement of a vice president and Congress in order to remove a US commander-in-chief from power.
The move by Mrs Pelosi and Democrats in the House was said to be an enactment of the 25th Amendment to the US Constitution, which affirms the line of succession and was passed in 1967.
Ms Pelosi said the move "was not about President Trump", and that "he will face the judgement" of the voters in November's election.
She said: "This legislation applies to future presidents, but we are reminded of the necessity of action by the health of the current president."
She earlier noted Mr Trump's "strange tweet" halting talks on a new coronavirus aid package - he subsequently tried to reverse course - and said Americans needed to know when, exactly, he first contracted COVID-19 as others in the White House became infected.
Mr Trump later tweeted: "Crazy Nancy Pelosi is looking at the 25th Amendment in order to replace Joe Biden with Kamala Harris. The Dems want that to happen fast because Sleepy Joe is out of it!!!"
The 25th Amendment states that, if agreed with the vice president, the US leader can be removed from power with backing from the US cabinet.
It also states that Congress can instruct a body, like the panel Mrs Pelosi envisages, to make this decision with the VP.
The panel that would judge the fitness of the president is planned to have eight medical experts - four nominated by Republicans and four nominated by Democrats - and eight senior statespeople like former presidents, attorney generals and surgeon generals.

The 16 selected would choose a 17th person as a chair.
The president would be able to challenge an attempt to remove them from office, but this challenge could be quashed if the House and the Senate had a majority of two-thirds to do so.
Mrs Pelosi went on to cast doubt about whether she would trust a vaccine or COVID-19 treatment that was cleared in the UK.
She said: "I think we have to be very careful about what happens in the UK.
"We have very stringent rules in terms of the Food and Drug Administration here about the number of clinical trials, the timing, the number of people, and all the rest.
"So that when a drug is approved by the FDA and the Scientific Advisory Committee that it is safe and efficacious, then it will have the trust of the American people to take it."
Ms Pelosi added: "My concern is that the UK system for that kind of judgement is not on a par with ours in the United States.
"So if Boris Johnson decides he's going to approve a drug. And this president embraces that - that's a concern that I have about any similarity between the two."
Mr Trump has said he is working to get the coronavirus antibody drugs used to treat his infection approved quickly and out to hospitals.
He told right-wing radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh he might not have recovered without Regeneron.
