Mirtha Legrand was hospitalized at the Mater Dei sanatorium due to the bronchitis she has been suffering from since last week. The 99-year-old host had canceled the recording of her last show on medical advice and was replaced by her granddaughter, Juana Viale.
According to LA NACION, the diva is in good spirits and maintains phone contact with her acquaintances. The hospitalization was arranged as a precaution, so that professionals can monitor her progress and conduct routine tests.
How Mirtha Legrand's health is progressing
According to the information published by the outlet, Legrand has not shown any fever so far. The doctors decided to keep her under observation, and it was expected that she would remain hospitalized during the day and spend the night at the health center.
This situation is causing concern for the host, which is why her medical team preferred to take precautions considering her age. The information released indicates that she is in good spirits, although she remains under professional care.
Juana Viale replaced her on the show
On Friday, Mirtha did not attend the recording of La noche de Mirtha due to a severe flu episode. Her doctor had advised her to stay home and rest until she fully recovered.
During the program aired on Saturday, Juana Viale explained her grandmother's absence before presenting her outfit. “Here I am putting on the shirt because grandma has the flu. We send her a huge kiss, she is recovering with her teas, her natural ointments,” she commented.
The host immediately clarified, in a humorous tone: “Just kidding, all medication, all”. She then added: “I send a big kiss to my grandmother. I hope to do it well. Today I have all the energy, all the vitality to do it.”
