The Rev. Jesse Jackson will be released Wednesday from a Chicago-area rehab facility, one month after he and his wife, Jacqueline, were diagnosed with coronavirus and hospitalized.
Mrs. Jackson was released from the hospital earlier this month and Rev. Jackson was transferred to a rehab facility, where he continued his treatment for Parkinson’s disease.
Both husband and wife are now coronavirus-free, son Jonathan Jackson said in a statement published by NBC Chicago.
“Both my parents are ever so thankful for all of the prayers, cards, and calls they have received during this very trying period of their lives,” said Jonathan Jackson, who is national spokesman for the Rainbow PUSH Coalition. “We know it is a miracle that both of our parents are now COVID-19 survivors, and we thank God for His healing,” he said.
