The former head of the Italian government, Silvio Berlusconi (83), spoke for the first time after being infected with the coronavirus and told his party colleagues about the fight against the “infernal disease”.
“I give my all and hope to return soon,” Berlusconi said Tuesday night, according to the Ansa news agency, during a conference call with members of his Forza Italia party. “I am fighting to escape from this hellish disease.”
Berlusconi considers himself a risk patient
The 83-year-old man has been being treated for his coronavirus infection at the San Raffaele hospital in Milan since last Friday. The politician and businessman, considered a risk patient due to his age and some previous illnesses, has been recovering for a few days. “I think that every hour that passes brings us closer to the positive outcome of the recovery,” Berlusconi’s doctor, Professor Alberto Zangrillo, said Tuesday night on the Rai television channel.
However, Covid-19 is a “treacherous disease” that you shouldn’t think too quickly that you’ve defeated, Zangrillo warned. With Berlusconi, however, the hospital treatment shows success. “His illness has taken the expected course, he reacts very well to therapies,” said the doctor. (SDA)
