Sen. Amy Klobuchar said Friday that her husband has "finally turned the corner" and is recovering back home after beingdiagnosed andhospitalizedwith Covid-19.

"He's doing a little better," the Minnesota Democrat told CNN's Dana Bash on Friday.Klobuchar revealed earlier this week that her husband, John Bessler, has coronavirus and had been in a Virginia hospital for pneumonia and low oxygen. He was released on Thursday.

She told CNN on Friday that her husband had a temperature of more than 100 degrees for 10 days and went to the hospital after coughing up blood. The senator said she had no idea how her husband contracted the virus.  

While her husband recuperates at home alone, Klobuchar said she's been staying at fellow Minnesota Sen. Tina Smith's apartment because medical professionals still do not know when he won't be contagious.

 "It is something that so many Americans know right now -- they can't go in to visit their loved ones," she said.

She added, "But if his story is anything -- when he's only 52, healthy his whole life. His story is follow the rules. At least he did not get other people sick. Because the minute he started thinking he had a cold, he stayed in the apartment."

Glad to hear this, at least they can talk by phone to each other to keep in touch.  When they talk about all the people in hospitals that are dying without their loved ones by their sides, it breaks my heart.
