Bassil Discharged from Hospital after Covid-19 Treatment

Free Patriotic Movement chief MP Jebran Bassil was discharged from hospital Monday after a several-day stay for coronavirus treatment, his press office said.

“He headed to his house where he will continue quarantine and minor treatment for the next few days,” the press office added in a statement, noting that Bassil had finished the “main treatment.”

Thanking all the Lebanese and foreign officials, friends and citizens who called him to inquire about his health, the FPM chief urged everyone to “be cautious and take all the necessary precautionary measures.”

“This lethal pandemic has reached dangerous levels that require increasing hospitals’ capacity and restricting movement in the country,” Bassil added.

“He will quickly resume his activities to shoulder the responsibilities resting on his shoulders amid these difficult circumstances in Lebanon,” the press office said.

In a tweet, Bassil also thanked the administration, medical crew, nurses and assistant nurses of the Hôtel-Dieu de France Hospital where he received his treatment.
