Honduran president leaves hospital after coronavirus scare

Honduran President Hernandez was discharged from hospital on Thursday after demonstrating clear improvement. Hernandez announced last Tuesday that he had been infected, along with his wife and two aides, saying his symptoms were mild and he would work remotely, but later went to hospital.

The health sadness have been a fresh blow for the 51-year-old Hernandez, who has faced increasing domestic pressure after a drug trafficking investigation in the United States. Honduras has reported over 20,000 infections and 542 deaths in the pandemic as of Thursday, according to the health ministry. But many Hondurans disobeyed the lockdown and the figures are likely to underestimate the impact of the outbreak.
