Sources in his political party Forza Italia told AFP that Mr. Berlusconi, 84, entered last night from Monday to Tuesday at the San Rafael Hospital in Milan, confirming press reports.

He left the same institution on May 1, after a stay of more than three weeks, and is still treating the after-effects of the COVID-19 he contracted in September.

In September, he was hospitalized with a lung infection from COVID-19
