Mexican businessman Carlos Slim, the 22nd richest man in the world, has returned home from hospital following a bout of COVID-19.
He is feeling well, his spokesman Arturo Elias said on Saturday.
During the past week, Slim was hospitalised at the National Institute of Nutrition, a public health centre in Mexico City.
Slim’s son, Carlos Slim Domit, revealed on Monday that the telecoms magnate had caught the coronavirus.
He said his dad was making a good recovery from the mild symptoms.
Spokesman Elias, who is also Slim’s son-in-law, said the 81-year-old had returned home on Thursday, and was “very well.”
Slim is Mexico’s wealthiest man. His family controls America Movil, the largest telecommunications provider in Latin America, as well as a host of other businesses.
According to Forbes, he is worth $56billion and is now ranked 22nd in the world.
