Veteran talk-show host Larry King, who is being treated for COVID-19, has been moved out of the intensive care unit at Los Angeles’ Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and is breathing on his own, a spokesman said on Monday.

King was moved to the ICU on New Year’s Eve and was receiving oxygen but is now breathing on his own, said David Theall, a spokesman for Ora Media, a production company formed by King.

The 87-year-old broadcasting legend shared a video phone call with his three sons, Theall said.
