Former US President Bill Clinton was on Sunday released from the Southern California hospital where he had been treated for an infection.
He left at around 8am from the University of California Irvine Medical Center.
Clinton, 75, was admitted on Tuesday to the hospital southeast of Los Angeles with an infection unrelated to Covid-19, officials said.
Clinton spokesman Angel Ureña had said on Saturday that Clinton would remain hospitalised one more night to receive further intravenous antibiotics. But all health indicators were “trending in the right direction”, Ureña said.
“President Clinton has continued to make excellent progress over the past 24 hours,” Ureña said.
Hillary Clinton has been with her husband at the hospital and accompanied him as he left on Sunday.
