Startor Plácido Domingo (79) announces on Facebook that he has the corona virus. He said it was his "moral duty" to tell the public that he had "tested positive for Covid-19, the corona virus," the singer writes on the page.
He and his family are "in self-isolation as long as it is medically necessary," Domingo said. And how is the infected artist now? "At the moment we are all in good health, but I had a fever and cough symptoms, which is why I decided to get tested, the result was positive," he writes.
Appeal to his followers
In his post, he also appeals to his followers: "I ask everyone to be extremely careful to follow the basic guidelines by washing their hands frequently, keeping a distance of at least two meters from other people, doing everything possible to do that Prevent the virus from spreading, and most of all I ask you to stay home if you can! "Said Domingo.
Together, you can fight this virus and stop the current global crisis, "so that we can hopefully get back to our normal everyday life soon," he appeals.
Not an easy time
The infection hits him in a not so easy time anyway. Because since summer 2019, the musician has been faced with allegations of sexual harassment of several colleagues, some of which go back up to 30 years. After he had initially resisted it, he admitted personal misconduct at the end of February 2020 and apologized to the women concerned.
