Opera singer Plácido Domingo was hospitalized after testing positive for coronavirus (COVID-19).

A rep for Domingo told Opera Wire, “His condition is stable and he will remain in the hospital as long as doctors find it necessary until a hoped-for full recovery.”

After spending a week in the hospital in Acapulco, Mexico, Domingo was discharged on March 28 and is currently at home, according to the health secretary in Guerrero, Opera Wire reported.

“After a week in the hospital, he was released to continue the treatment at home in isolation. He has been responding well and will continue following the doctors orders,” Domingo’s rep explained to Opera Wire.

The singer announced on March 22 that he tested positive for coronavirus in a statement shared on Facebook.

“I feel it is my moral duty to announce to you that I have tested positive for COVID19, the coronavirus. My family and I are all in self isolation for as long as it is deemed medically necessary,” the statement read.

“Currently, we are all in good health, but I experienced fever and cough symptoms therefore deciding to get tested and the result came back positive,” Domingo continued.

Domingo went on to urge his followers to “be extremely careful, follow the basic guidelines by washing your hands frequently, keeping at least a 6 feet distance from others, doing everything you can to stop the virus from spreading and please above all stay home if you can!”
