“I did all sorts of tests and it really turned out to be a foodborne infection,” he said. The actress also assured that she was already better. Ivete is still hospitalized, but the discharge is predicted for this Saturday (1st).

“I’m fine, I’m being discharged tomorrow, thank God, and everything is going great,” he said. The singer said she was relieved to check out later on Saturday because she didn’t want to lose Sunday’s election.
