March 27 (UPI) -- Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was discharged from the hospital Friday and transferred to his residence in Brasilia, where he will serve a 90-day period of house arrest.
The house arrest follows a decision by the Supreme Federal Court that considered his health condition, his personal physician told local media.
Bolsonaro, 71, had been hospitalized March 13 with bronchopneumonia after presenting high fever, low oxygen saturation and chills while in prison.
His doctor, Brasil Caiado, confirmed that the former president "has just been discharged" and will continue his recovery at home under a "disciplined" treatment.
