Former President Bill Clinton has been hospitalized at the University of California Irvine Medical Center for a “non-Covid-related infection,” his spokesperson says.

“He is on the mend, in good spirits, and is incredibly thankful to the doctors, nurses, and staff providing him with excellent care,” the spokesperson, Angel Ureña, wrote in a statement released on Twitter.

A statement from Drs. Alpesh Amin and Lisa Bardack says Clinton, who’s 75, was admitted “for close monitoring and administered IV antibiotics and fluids. He remains at the hospital for continuous monitoring.”
