Italy’s former PM Berlusconi hospitalized days after testing positive for Covid-19
Italy’s former prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi, was taken to hospital in Milan for further medical examination after it was announced on Wednesday that his coronavirus test turned out to be positive.
The move was just a precaution as the political veteran’s condition was no cause for concern, Berlusconi’s Forza Italia said on Friday.
Medical sources told ANSA news agency that Berlusconi was diagnosed with early stage bilateral pneumonia, which is a common complication of Covid-19. The decision to hospitalize him was made after a scan revealed the problem, it added.
