MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexican businessman Carlos Slim, one of the world's richest men, remains hospitalized with COVID-19, spokesman Arturo Elias said on Wednesday.
The 80-year-old telecoms magnate has been receiving treatment at the National Institute of Nutrition, a public health center in Mexico City, since his son confirmed on Monday that he had tested positive.
"He's in [the hospital] for analysis and monitoring, but he's doing very, very well," Elias said.
Slim is Mexico's wealthiest man. His family controls America Movil (NYSE:AMX), the largest Mexican telecommunications provider, whose operations includes mobile and fixed-line voice services, wireless, internet and fixed-data services.
