Silvio Berlusconi has said doctors at the hospital treating him for Covid-19 told him he was “No 1” for the severity of his viral load and that he is fighting to emerge from a “hellish” illness.

The former Italian prime minister, who was admitted to Milan’s San Raffaele hospital on Thursday, made the comments in a phone call to a candidate from his Forza Italia party during a regional elections rally in the Aosta Valley.

Berlusconi, 83, said that of the thousands of coronavirus tests carried out at San Raffaele hospital, doctors told him that he had the worst viral load.

“[The virus] is very bad,” he said. “I’m giving it my all, I hope to make it and to get back on track.”
