In a zoom video, the governor looked in better health, adding, "The Tijuana General Hospital has one of the best medical care in the world. It has already installed me in my house, in my condominium, until the doctors tell me how long I can receive people, I will be operating, answering calls and attending meetings."

Bonilla says the Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador reached out to him to ask about his health.

Sources say he was discharged from the hospital with stable vital signs.

He continues to have muscular weakness which will be kept under supervision.

Bonilla tested positive for COVID-19 earlier this year, when the first cases were observed.
