Lula Resumes Duties in Brasília After Skin Lesion Removal

Overview

• The president worked from the Palácio da Alvorada in Brasília after the procedures.
• He canceled planned video remarks at two São Paulo events because of transmission issues, not his recovery.
• He was discharged from Hospital Sírio-Libanês the same day and was told to avoid sun while the scalp heals.
• Doctors said the scalp lesion was localized and that removal was the proper course.
• A biopsy is pending and his right thumb tendinitis was treated with an injection that does not limit movement.
