Marco Rima was ill with Corona in January

The Zug comedian and Corona sceptic caught Corona in January. He said he was in bed with a fever for three weeks.

Earlier this year, there were rumours that Corona sceptic and comedian Marco Rima (59) had fallen ill with the Corona infection, and could even have been in hospital. Neither he nor his management wanted to respond to requests for comment.

Now he admits it: "Yes, I was sick and was tested positive in January. I was in bed with a 38-degree fever for three weeks," confirmed Marco Rima at the 360-Grad congress, where the entertainment industry met for exchange, as is written in the Blick newspaper.

Marco Rima is now backing off with regard to his critical statements on the Corona measures, it reports: "I am a critic of the measures, but I have never denied or trivialised Corona. Nevertheless, I was pushed into this corner and was completely taken aback by the criticism I received."
