He was close to Manuel Cortez: The actor gives an update from the hospital after his Covid 19 illness.
The actor Manuel Cortez (42) has been in hospital for almost two weeks. He was infected with the corona virus and was then seriously ill with Covid-19. Now he is giving his fans an update via Instagram from the hospital and explains how close it was for him. He is now the twelfth day in the clinic and is now finally on the mend, says Cortez, who is still ventilated through the nose.
He only “just slipped past the intensive care unit,” the actor continued. He had previously been admitted with severe pneumonia and said his lungs had “collapsed in several places”. It was not clear whether he would make it: “There were two nights when it was really dangerous.” He would also have suffered from panic attacks at night. But he was now over the mountain, allowed to move, get up and even take a shower. His lungs would have improved a lot.
