Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin has been released from the hospital two days after being admitted with COVID-related pneumonia. While his condition has improved, Woodfin will work from home and stay self-quarantined.

According to a Wednesday afternoon press release, doctors at Princeton Baptist Medical Center found “COVID pneumonia” in the mayor’s left lung.

“I’m blessed they caught it early,” Woodfin said in a statement. He received the drug Remdesivir and convalescent plasma therapy to combat the illness, “in keeping with established criteria for COVID pneumonia patients,” according to the release.

Woodfin’s 87-year-old grandmother died of COVID-19 on New Year’s Day; her funeral was scheduled for Wednesday. “On this day that I’m being discharged, my grandmother is being laid to rest,” he said. “That pains me. I can’t be there, and I miss her.”

Woodfin urged residents “to continue to take steps to help stop the spread of this virus.”

“We are not out of the woods,” he said. “People need to take this virus seriously … . If you don’t have to be out, don’t be out. Wash your hands. Wear your masks and practice social distancing.”
