Berlusconi leaves hospital: did I get away with it again | Abroad

“This time too I got away with it,” said the 83-year-old politician and media mogul. He called on Italians to adhere to corona rules, saying Covid-19 is “a serious and insidious disease.” All the statements of support had also done him good, he said, because the first three days in particular had been “extremely tough.”

It is not known whether Berlusconi has made a full recovery or if he will receive further treatment at home. When Berlusconi was admitted he had mild inflammation of both lungs. According to his personal doctor, the admission was mainly a precautionary measure. Berlusconi’s health has been fragile for years. He underwent open heart surgery in 2016 and went under the knife last year for a hernia and intestinal problems.
