Thirty seven-years-old TV
star who suffers from both Crohn’s disease and arthritis has been
self-isolating for over two weeks after getting a persistent cough, aches and
pains all over his body.
English magician, Dynamo
has tested positive for Coronavirus after experiencing “severe symptoms”.
Dynamo, whose real name is
Steven Frayne revealed the news in a Twitter video, telling fans: “Hi guys, hope you’re all keeping safe and
well. It’s been a bit of a rough couple of weeks so wanted to give you an
update. As you know I’ve had some health issues over last few years and underlying
conditions make this virus particularly dangerous and very real.
“I’m incredibly relieved to
be over the worst of it but wanted to let you all know what’s been happening.
Please take this virus seriously and remember that by staying home, you are
protecting so many others.”
“Hey guys. Over the last
few weeks I’ve experienced symptoms such as a persistent cough and lots of
aches and pains. I self-isolated for just over two weeks and took any necessary
precautions.
“I was advised to take a
private test. I appreciate that’s not a possibility for everyone. The decision
was made by me and my team for a number of reasons. Firstly, because of my
existing health issues and the fact I’m on immuno-suppressive therapy, I’m at
high risk.”
He went on: “Secondly,
although I haven’t had a fever, my symptoms have been quite severe. And
finally, so that I was able to inform those I’ve been in contact with so they
can take their own relevant precautions.
“I’ve had my results back
now and unfortunately, I have tested positive for COVID-19. This illness can
effect anyone, it doesn’t discriminate and it can present itself in many
different ways.”
“We’re all genuinely at
risk. Now touch wood, my symptoms have been gradually decreasing day by day and
I’ve been feeling better. Hopefully I’m through the worst of it and I’m staying
positive.
“But if you’re watching
this, please stay at home. Keep away from others, protect yourselves, your
loved ones, the NHS.
“And the keyworkers out
there – the incredible NHS, the doctors and nurses, the porters, the people
keeping food on the shelves. And those working hard to keep our communities
going.
“I think I speak on behalf
of everyone out there when I say thank you so much for the incredible work
you’re doing. You’re genuine heroes and you’re in all of our hearts right now –
thank you for everything you’re doing.
“People, please stay at
home, stay safe and thanks for watching this video,” he added.
Hi guys, hope you’re all
keeping safe and well. It’s been a bit of a rough couple of weeks so wanted to
give you an update. As you know I’ve had some health issues over last few years
and underlying conditions make this virus particularly dangerous and very real.
