Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is reportedly recovering from pneumonia after being hospitalized last week. Giuliani’s spokesperson, Christianne Allen, confirmed that the 77-year-old lawyer and close ally of President Donald Trump is now “breathing on his own” and is showing signs of improvement.
Giuliani was admitted to Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, D.C. on December 6th after testing positive for COVID-19. His condition worsened, leading to a diagnosis of pneumonia. Concerns about his health were heightened due to his age and the potential complications associated with the coronavirus.
Christianne Allen expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support and well-wishes for Giuliani’s recovery. She stated that he is responding well to treatment and is optimistic about his progress. Giuliani has been a prominent figure in Trump’s legal battle over the 2020 election results, leading the charge in multiple lawsuits alleging voter fraud.
The news of Giuliani’s pneumonia and subsequent recovery comes at a critical time as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to surge across the United States. With vaccines on the horizon, Giuliani’s experience serves as a reminder of the virus’s unpredictable nature and the importance of following health guidelines to mitigate its spread.
Giuliani’s family has also acknowledged the medical care he has received and expressed their confidence in his resilience. Further updates on his health are expected in the coming days as he continues his recovery.
