Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is back at home after being discharged from the hospital on July 15.
Ginsburg is “home and doing well,” Supreme Court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said in a statement. The 87-year-old justice was rushed to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore July 14 and treated for a “potential infection,” the statement said.
CBS News reported that Ginsburg was experiencing a fever and chills and was evaluated at Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington on July 13. She then underwent a procedure at Johns Hopkins to clean out a bile duct stent placed in August.
This is not the first time Ginsburg, who has battled cancer four times, has fought illnesses during the coronavirus pandemic. In May CNN reported she was hospitalized and treated for acute cholecystitis, described as a “benign gallbladder condition.”
