"I thank all of those people who have sent their well wishes and apologise to those who had hoped that I would drop dead."

Standing for re-election as a Queensland senator on Saturday, Ms Hansen believes she contracted the virus in Western Australia.

A spokesman for the Senator confirmed that Ms Hanson remained unvaccinated but has been treating herself with an unauthorised Covid remedy, ivermectin, which the Therapeutic Goods Administration warn can be dangerous.
