Vox spokesman at Madrid City Council and secretary general of the training, Javier Ortega Smith, was admitted to a hospital on Saturday for "several thrombi in the leg and lungs as one of the serious effects that can cause the coronavirus. "

Ortega Smith has reported his situation on Twitter, where he has uploaded a photograph of him in the hospital bed, where he appears with a mask with the flag of Spain. He has done so with a message "in the face of rumors, contradictory publications and the wishes for information of so many good people" who have taken an interest in his health.

It was Saturday when he was urgently admitted due to the swelling that had occurred in his left calf. "After the analysis and the corresponding studies, several thrombi in my leg and lungs have been detected as one of the serious effects that the coronavirus that I had can cause," he explained.

The Vox spokesman at the Town Hall continues to work. In fact, today it has sent to the mayor, José Luis Martínez-Almeida, a battery of 60 measures to face the consequences of the coronavirus in the city, in addition to a couple of audios intended for the press. The mayor claims to feel "in spirit but under medical observation."

On April 15, he also confirmed through social networks that the PCR had tested negative for coronavirus after "more than a month of rigorous confinement at home." The national deputy gave "thanks to God for having overcome it" and prayed "for those who unfortunately did not succeed and for the pain of their families and friends. Also for those who are still struggling to overcome it."

Ortega Smith wanted to publicly thank the hospital and health center staff who treated him "for their humanity, professionalism and heroism", without forgetting "the innumerable expressions of interest and support" received.
