Elias Jaua, Venezuela's vice president, said Chavez was attending to his day-to-day government duties while recovering.
"He's signing documents for social security retirees and resources for the education ministry, reading reports,'' Jaua told Union Radio.
"The president is following all current events in the country."
Chavez is expected to be back in the country in time to host a summit of Latin American leaders on July 5.
