Mauricio Pinilla, former figure of the University of Chile and today television host, confirmed his infection with Covid-19.
Information about his virus infection had been leaked during the week by Francisco Halzinki, a reality expert, who assured that the former soccer player tested positive for a PCR test.
However, Pinilla had neither denied nor confirmed the rumours. That until this Saturday, when revealed that he is with coronavirus through a live broadcast of his Instagram account.
“Here we are crowned. COVID family, infected. We are in that recovery process”, announced the former player, who He has been in quarantine since last Thursday..
In that same line, assured that his wife Gissella Gallardo tested negative in the PCR test. This, after one of his sons said a particular joke on the air: “can I go and infect mom?”he asked.
“Leave your mom alone. We have her isolated, because it came out negative. You just have to leave her alone. This house is crazy with everyone locked up… I’m not even telling you,” he explained.
But the worst thing for the host of the TVN program “Zona de Encuentro” would be the symptoms he had after his infection. “Very strong headache, a lot of congestion, very weak and with a very damaged body, but today I feel a little better, “he said.
And before closing the live, he questioned the inoculation against the virus and how it would not have prevented his contagion: “I got vaccinated with all three doses… it’s not that I’m anti-vaccine, but I still got it and I feel like shit. So I don’t know if that is the solution. How many vaccines are we going to have to get? I hope they find something more effective.”.
