Mr Edwards uploaded a post to Twitter that read: 'Big thanks to @KingsCollegeNHS for superb care #pneumonia I'll be back at @BBCNews this week — keep safe everyone and follow the guidelines #StayHomeSaveLives.'
The broadcaster did not say whether he had tested positive for coronavirus during his hospital admission.
But well-wishers including Sky News' Alistair Bruce sent their good thoughts to him on Twitter and congratulated him on 'conquering' the killer bug.

Mr Bruce wrote: 'Huw, really good news that you have conquered this vile pestilence and our thanks to those that fought with you. #NHSheroes.'
It comes as the NHS continues to be stretched amid the coronavirus epidemic.
Pneumonia is an inflammation of the tissue in one or both lungs usually caused by a bacterial infection.
Symptoms include a cough, high temperature, difficulty breathing and a rapid heartbeat, according to the NHS.

Mr Edwards went on a health kick last year and dropped from 16 to 13 stone since overhauling his workouts, and now boxes three times a week.
His makeover began last year when he started a fitness regime with ex-boxer Clinton McKenzie.
Edwards has since attracted hundreds of compliments from fans online and gained 26,000 Instagram followers.
In 2012 he admitted 'always being on a diet' because of his job, saying: 'I am one of those people who can put on weight simply by looking at a Twix.'
In an interview with the Mail in 2012 he said he no major health problems and the worst issue he had was when his appendix burst when he was 30.
He said: 'I felt relatively calm until the doctors started to look panicky. It’s an experience I will never forget as it took several weeks to recover from the emergency operation'.
