Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has been discharged from the hospital after he was hospitalized for a week following a battle with COVID-19.
“I am happy to let you know that this morning I was released from Morristown Medical Center. I want to thank the extraordinary doctors & nurses who cared for me for the last week. Thanks to my family & friends for their prayers. I will have more to say about all of this next week,” he tweeted on Saturday.
Christie was hospitalized last Saturday after he tested positive for coronavirus.

“I am happy to let you know that this morning I was released from Morristown Medical Center. I want to thank the extraordinary doctors & nurses who cared for me for the last week. Thanks to my family & friends for their prayers. I will have more to say about all of this next week,” Christie said in a tweet a week ago.
“In consultation with my doctors, I checked myself into Morristown Medical Center this afternoon. While I am feeling good and only have mild symptoms, due to my history of asthma we decided this is an important precautionary measure,” Chris Christie tweeted.
Christie had announced his positive test result in a tweet on saturday.
“I just received word that I am positive for COVID-19,” Christie wrote. “I want to thank all of my friends and colleagues who have reached out to ask how I was feeling in the last day or two. I will be receiving medical attention today and will keep the necessary folks apprised of my condition.”
He helped President Donald Trump prepare for the first presidential debate earlier this week.
