Clinton hospitalized for infection unrelated to COVID-19: Officials

ITDC INDIA EPRESS/ITDC NEWS R Former US President Bill Clinton was released Sunday from the Southern California hospital where he had been treated for an infection.

Clinton was released around 8 a.m. from the University of California Irvine Medical Center. He had been admitted on Tuesday to the hospital southeast of Los Angeles with an infection unrelated to COVID-19, officials said.

Clinton spokesman Angel Ureña had said Saturday that Clinton would remain hospitalized one more night to receive further intravenous antibiotics. But all health indicators were “trending in the right direction,” Ureña said.

“President Clinton has continued to make excellent progress over the past 24 hours,” Ureña said.

Hillary Clinton has been with her husband at the hospital and accompanied him as he left Sunday.

President Joe Biden said Friday night that he had spoken to Bill Clinton, and the former president “sends his best.”

“He's doing fine; he really is,” Biden said during remarks at the University of Connecticut.

Clinton, 75, was admitted on Tuesday with an infection unrelated to COVID-19, Ureña said.

“He is in great spirits and has been spending time with family, catching up with friends, and watching college football,” said Ureña's Saturday statement.
