Luxembourg prime minister Xavier Bettel left hospital after four days of tests and treatment for a persistent case of Covid-19 that forced him to delegate some of his work, the country’s government said.

The Luxembourg government said that “because of the improvement of his health”, Mr Bettel will reclaim his full functions as prime minister on Friday.
