“He was hospitalized until today morning, but after he relatively recovered and the danger was removed, he was discharged from the hospital at the doctors’ discretion. Nonetheless, he will have to self-isolate at home for a further few days,” he added.
In the meantime, the organization’s affairs were handled by the deputies with the chief pursuing the matters through phone calls, said the offcial.
