Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has said that he has recovered from a second bout of Covid-19, as he resumes his public activities, reports AFP.

Lopez Obrador said that he was no longer infected and his symptoms had been milder — and his recovery quicker — than with his first coronavirus infection last year.

“It is demonstrable that this variant does not have the same severity as the previous one, the Delta variant,” he told reporters, nearly a week after announcing he had caught Covid-19 again.

“What also helps a lot is the vaccine, getting vaccinated and not missing the booster shot,” he added.
