Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was released from the hospital Wednesday after being admitted earlier in the week for a possible infection.
“Justice Ginsburg has been discharged from the hospital. She is home and doing well,” a spokesperson from the high court told reporters.
The Supreme Court had announced Tuesday that Justice Ginsburg was hospitalized at The Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore.
The 87-year-old justice was admitted after first being evaluated at Sibley Memorial Hospital in D.C. with a fever and chills.
Justice Ginsburg had a bile duct stent cleaned out, according to the court’s press release earlier this week. The stent had been put in last August.
She received intravenous antibiotic treatment while in the hospital.
