Former premier Silvio Berlusconi is
on the mend after spending last week in hospital for post-COVID
complications, the no.2 in his centre-right Forza Italia (FI)
party, ex-European Parliament president Antonio Tajani, said
Monday.
Berlusconi, 84, who had a heart valve replaced in 2016, said his
experience with COVID last September was "the worst and most
frightening in my life".
The three-time former premier and media mogul caught the virus
in Sardinia from his friend and fellow billionaire businessman,
ex- Benetton and Renault F1 boss Flavio Briatore.
He was hospitalised a week ago with a fever due to a COVID
vaccination and the lingering effects of his bout of the virus.
The Mediaset owner was discharged on Saturday.
Asked if his boss was getting better, Tajani said "absolutely
yes.
"Now he's at home, he's resting and is trying to emerge quickly
from a post-COVID and a post-vaccine situation that has caused
him a few problems, with a rise in temperature.
"Let's hope we have him back as soon as possible as a
protagonist of political life".
