Czech President Miloš Zeman has been discharged from the capital’s military hospital after testing positive for the coronavirus
PRAGUE -- Czech President Miloš Zeman was discharged Saturday from the capital's military hospital after testing positive for the coronavirus.
The 77-year-old Zeman had already been discharged following more than a month’s treatment for an unspecified illness on Thursday, but was readmitted only hours later after testing positive for the coronavirus.
The president received monoclonal antibodies, a standard treatment for people belonging to risk groups. He is fully vaccinated against COVID-19, including a booster. Zeman has no symptoms of COVID-19, the hospital said.
He was rushed to the hospital on Oct. 10, a day after the election to the lower house of parliament, and was treated in an intensive care unit. His condition was attributed to an unspecified chronic disease.
