Mexican actress Silvia Pinal, an icon of cinema and theater in that country, left the hospital where she had been hospitalized since December 23 for covid-19 on Wednesday and will continue treatment at home after improving her health, confirmed the daughter by the artist Sylvia Pasquel.
"It was decided that instead of transferring her to another normal therapy room, it was better to take her home with all the care to avoid that she could be infected with something else in the hospital"Pasquel pointed out to Milenio.
The nonagenarian actress was fully vaccinated but was missing her booster dose, according to her relatives.
From the beginning, those close to the actress, who was immortalized by the Spanish filmmaker Luis Buñuel in the film Viridiana (1961), clarified to the press that Pinal’s health was stable.
"My mom is super fine, she will be super well cared for, of course no one can come near, as if she were in intensive care, exactly the same, but at home"Pasquel added.
Pinal arrived at her home, in the south of Mexico City, on the afternoon of this Wednesday after leaving the private hospital where she had already been transferred from the COVID area to the intensive care unit.
The artist is considered one of the greats of the golden cycle of national cinema, like other symbols of the time such as Dolores del RÃo (1904-1983) and MarÃa Félix (1914-2002).
Pinal became a close figure to a whole new generation of Mexicans when he produced and presented the anthology series "Woman, real life cases" (1986-2007) on broadcast television.
Mexico registered in the last hours 167 deaths from covid-19 that bring the total deaths to 298,944, in addition to 4,426 new infections for a total of more than 3.95 million cases.
With these figures, the country remains the fourth with the most deaths from covid-19, behind the United States, Brazil and India, and the fifteenth in number of confirmed infections, according to the Johns Hopkins University count.
