Placido Domingo feels ‘fine’ after virus

MEXICO CITY » Tenor Placido Domingo said Monday he is resting at home after catching the new coronavirus. Domingo said in a statement that he is “at home and I feel fine.” The 79-year-old was reportedly hospitalized in Mexico after publicly acknowledging on March 22 that he had tested positive for COVID-19 and said he was going into isolation. Domingo, who has longstanding ties to Mexico, had suffered from a fever and a cough.

Domingo wrote on Monday that “from the very first symptom I was, as usual, under medical supervision, given my age and my comorbidity.”

The opera singer’s illness comes after his own glittering career had recently been stained by sexual misconduct revelations.
