Italian media mogul and former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi, who has COVID-19 and a history of heart and other medical problems, was admitted early Friday to a Milan hospital, where tests found that he has the "beginnings" of pneumonia, state radio said.
Earlier, one of his top aides, Sen. Lucia Ronzulli told RAI state TV that the 83-year-old tycoon, who tested positive for coronavirus earlier in the week, was undergoing "precautionary monitoring" of his infection. "He passed the night well," Ronzulli said.
A CT scan done at San Raffaele hospital found the “beginnings of pneumonia in both lungs,” the late-morning radio report said.
