- AMLO is an older adult, has hypertension, is overweight, and a decade ago suffered an acute myocardial infarction.
- One of the president’s last public appearances was on April 20 to announce the sale of the presidential plane to the government of the Asian country Tajikistan.
- Although the number of infections and deaths from Covid-19 is on the decline, it is thought that the SARS-CoV-2 virus could become endemic and never disappear.
The pandemic is in a moment of relative calm worldwide but in no way does it mean that it is over. If this health emergency has shown anything, it is that no one is exempt from contagion and the disease can even be contracted on multiple occasions. Such is the case of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO), who announced that he has Covid-19 for the third time.
During the afternoon of this April 23, the president published a message on his official social networks. He briefly mentions that tested positive for Covid-19. He makes it clear that his state of health is favorable but he will have to suspend his work tour to remain isolated.
No way, friends and friends: I tested positive for COVID-19. It’s not serious. My heart is 100 and since I had to suspend the tour, I am in Mexico City and from afar I celebrate Jesús Ernesto’s 16th birthday. I’ll save myself a few days. Adán Augusto López will lead the morning sessions. See you…
– Andrés Manuel (@lopezobrador_) April 23, 2023
In this sense, one of the last public appearances of the politician occurred during the night of April 20. Through a video he announced the final sale of the presidential plane. After more than four years, a buyer was finally found for the “José María Morelos y Pavón” aircraft.
In this regard, it only indicated that it was acquired by the government of the Asian country of Tajikistan for a final figure of 1,658 million pesos. He also mentioned that the money from the operation will be used for the construction of two rural hospitals in the states with the highest poverty rates in the country. One will be located in Guerrero and another in Oaxaca.
On the other hand, for the following days AMLO had planned a work tour of Mérida but it had to be suspended because he once again has Covid-19. While the morning lectures will now be led by the Secretary of the Interior Adán Augusto López.
All the times that AMLO has had Covid-19
The first occasion occurred on January 24, 2021 when it became official that the politician was infected. At that time, he said that his condition was mild and he only had slight discomfort. In any case, he had to remain isolated and in the end he recovered thanks to an experimental treatment that he received with drugs that at that time had not yet been approved in the country.
While almost a year later, on January 10, 2022, it was confirmed that AMLO had Covid-19 for the second time. This time he said that he developed a flu-like condition and even had a hoarse voice from days before.
On this second occasion, he also fully recovered and in part it was thanks to the fact that he had a complete vaccination schedule.
Regarding this third contagion, the place where it could have occurred is unknown. Although the truth is that despite all the recommendations of the international authorities AMLO has been one of the main opponents of the use of face masks. Since the start of the pandemic, he has only used it when traveling by plane because it is a mandatory requirement.
AMLO medical history
First of all, it is necessary to remember that the man from Tabasco is 69 years old. The most serious moment was experienced during the early morning of December 3, 2013 when he suffered an acute myocardial infarction. Although thanks to the fact that he received prompt medical attention at the Hospital Médica Sur, the problem did not prosper.
Based on what the president himself declared, on that occasion it was necessary to perform an angioplasty to place a metallic device in the coronary artery. That allowed blood flow to be restored.
As a result of the above, it has required medical consultations for review. Just shortly before becoming president he frequently went with the Dr. Felix Dolorit, known for being one of the most famous neurosurgeons in the world. The specialist is part of the staff of the Larkin Community Hospitallocated in one of the most exclusive areas of Florida.
Similarly, it was also revealed that AMLO went to the National Institute of Cardiology (INC) on a couple of occasions. When questioned about his health problems, he replied that he only went to a preventive consultation, but it was not something serious.
Regarding his medical history, it is known that he suffers from high blood pressure and it is a condition with which he has lived for years. Although so far the incident has not generated major consequences. In addition, in a medical examination after his arrival at the presidency, he was diagnosed as overweight.
