Former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro has been moved out of intensive care after his medical condition improved, his wife has said.
The 70-year-old right-wing politician had been placed in an intensive care unit in the capital Brasilia on Friday for pneumonia.
But his wife Michelle said in an Instagram post that tests showed he had reduced inflammation and had been transferred to a semi-intensive care unit.
"We remain confident he will overcome this moment too," she said.
On Sunday, the hospital DF Star said the former president's kidney function had improved, though he was to stay in intensive care because of pneumonia. It did not mention his transfer to a semi-intensive care unit.
Bolsonaro, who was president from 2019 to 2022, was taken to hospital from the prison where he is serving a 27-year sentence for leading a coup attempt in 2023.
He was also convicted on charges including leading an armed criminal organisation and attempting the violent abolition of the democratic rule of law. He has denied all wrongdoing.
In January, he was transferred from the local federal police headquarters to a larger cell.
His family and allies have repeatedly called for Brazil's Supreme Court to allow him to carry out his sentence under house arrest.
