Singer Marianne Faithfull is being treated for COVID-19 in London.
“Marianne Faithfull’s manager Francois Ravard has confirmed that Marianne is being treated for COVID-19 in hospital in London. She is stable and responding to treatment. We all wish her well and a full and speedy recovery,” her rep said in a statement.
Penny Arcade, a longtime friend of Faithfull, 73, told Rolling Stone that Faithfull was told to shelter after developing a cold. Faithfull felt that she needed to check herself into the hospital, which she did, and then subsequently tested positive for coronavirus.
The “As Tears Go By” singer has had a lengthy list of health issues throughout her life including hepatitis C, breast cancer in 2016, anorexia and a drug abuse problem.
Questions about COVID-19? Here are some things you need to know:
Health officials caution against all international travel. Returning travellers are asked to self-isolate for 14 days in case they develop symptoms and to prevent spreading the virus to others.
Symptoms can include fever, cough and difficulty breathing — very similar to a cold or flu. Some people can develop a more severe illness. People most at risk of this include older adults and people with severe chronic medical conditions like heart, lung or kidney disease. If you develop symptoms, contact public health authorities.
To prevent the virus from spreading, experts recommend frequent handwashing and coughing into your sleeve. They also recommend minimizing contact with others, staying home as much as possible and maintaining a distance of two metres from other people if you go out.
