"Looking forward to meeting with the public": what is known about the condition of Yuri Bashmet, who is sick with coronavirus

People's Artist of the USSR Yuri Bashmet contracted the coronavirus.

This information was confirmed by RT in the press service of the Russian Concert Agency.

At the same time, contrary to the data of a number of media outlets, Bashmet is in good health.

“He feels good and looks forward to meeting the audience.

All scheduled meetings and concerts will eventually take place.

The severity of his fortune is exaggerated in some media, ”the press service told RT.

In an interview with TASS, representatives of the Russian Concert Agency clarified that at the next concerts of the All-Russian Youth Symphony Orchestra, which will be held in St. Petersburg (October 1), Kazan (October 2) and Moscow (October 4), the maestro will be replaced by his colleague, a native of Ecuador Freddie Cadena ...

According to MK, Bashmet and his wife were hospitalized on the evening of September 28 with a preliminary diagnosis of lobar pneumonia.

The report states that from a dacha in the village of Nikolina Gora, the couple was taken to the 52nd city hospital.

Information that Natalya Bashmet also contracted the coronavirus has not yet been confirmed.

On September 17, it became known that opera singer Anna Netrebko was hospitalized with moderate pneumonia caused by coronavirus.

The artist spent at least a week in the hospital and was discharged on September 22.

The singer spoke about this on her Instagram page.

“I hasten to inform you that yesterday I was discharged from the hospital, and I got rid of an infection called COVID,” Netrebko wrote.

She thanked the subscribers and doctors for the support, who, in her words, are "the best and know how to deal with this virus."

Shortly before Netrebko's hospitalization, singer Ildar Abdrazakov was diagnosed with a similar diagnosis.

The musicians perform together in the opera Don Carlos at the Bolshoi Theater.

Last week, director Rezo Gigineishvili announced a positive rapid test for coronavirus.

However, according to him, the PCR test, which he passed later, turned out to be negative.

Despite this, the filmmaker chose not to leave the house.

Attention !

I try not to comment on what the press writes about me.

I realize that this is part of my profession.

But this time I have to write a few words.

It’s not just me.

1. I returned from the festival and, as a responsible person, I passed an express test before going to the set.

He was positive.

Then he called a doctor and passed the PCR test.

It is negative.

But still he decided to stay at home, as he was in contact with the sick.

I feel fine.

2. The festival and its organizers observed all safety precautions.

We were given maxi and measured the temperature all the time.

There is a strict chess seating in the hall. But the festival cannot control airports, planes, elevators in the hotel.

In other words, everything outside the festival is not the responsibility of the festival.

3. I am grateful to everyone who took care of me, worried about my health.

4. Request to the press - not to invent anything and not write outright lies.

Because they don't joke with health.

The news of my hospitalization can be seen online by elderly relatives or children who do not understand that loud headlines are not always true.

They are worried.

I am observed at home.

thanks

In September, the artistic director of the Fyodor Volkov Russian State Academic Drama Theater in Yaroslavl, Sergei Puskepalis, was hospitalized with a coronavirus infection.

The press service of the theater said that the director is in a stable condition.

Also, a representative of the organization, in an interview with TASS, noted that Puskepalis did not contact the troupe for a week before the diagnosis was made.

Among the cases was the youngest son of Mikhail Efremov, 10-year-old Boris.

According to StarHit, he contracted the infection at school.

Boris feels well, and learned about his illness after the test, which was passed by his entire class.

The rest of the actor's family members have negative test results, but they self-isolated in a country house.

Earlier, the coronavirus was detected in Yuri Nazarov, Evgeny Redko, Yanina Studilina, Lyubov Tolkalina, Oleg Gazmanov, Rita Dakota and other artists.
