Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has been admitted to a hospital in Milan with symptoms of Covid-19 after testing positive this week.

The 83-year-old leader of the Forza Italia party had been isolating at his home near the Italian financial capital. His admission to the San Raffaele clinic is a precautionary measure and Berlusconi’s medical condition is not a cause for concern, a spokeswoman for the media mogul said Friday.
