The Brazilian representative would go to China this weekend. Initially, the trip was scheduled for the early afternoon of Saturday (25). On Friday (24), Lula postponed his departure to China until Sunday (26), but this Saturday (25), Lula had to postpone his trip once again, this time without a travel date.
The recommendation is that he postpone his trip to China until the cycle of viral transmission ends after being diagnosed with mild pneumonia on Thursday (23).
A CNN physician Roberto Kalil, who monitors President Lula’s health, stated that there is no forecast for a new date for the president’s trip.
“He has viral and bacterial pneumonia, is taking antibiotics into a vein, undergoing treatment. Taking an almost 30-hour flight, going to a thousand appointments, would be taking an unnecessary risk”, said the doctor.
Still according to him, Lula is better. However, the end of treatment will take from one week to 10 days. The use of antibiotics, corticoids and antivirals was prescribed.
The first flu-like symptoms were recorded on Thursday afternoon. When dealing with the cancellation of the trip, according to the doctor, Lula said that she “thought it over and fully agreed”.
The first lady played a fundamental role in the defense that Lula followed the medical advice. “He finishes the treatment and then goes on with his life, he is already much better”, she emphasized.
