CBS “The Young and the Restless” Spoilers: Greg Rikaart Diagnosed with Coronavirus
On his social media rampage, Rikaart discussed his frustration on Instagram saying that the doctors would only test him if he had been out of the country, have a fever of 102 degrees and a cough. Since Rikaart didn’t meet all of these criteria, he was rejected…until late last week. On March 23, Rikaart took back to Instagram to update his fans. He received a positive Covid-19 diagnosis.

“I am a pretty health 45-year old who doesn’t smoke, doesn’t drink much, eats well and exercises regularly and this has been the hardest experience of my life. Two+ weeks ago, everyone in my house had a bit of a cough and my son came home from school with a high fever. Everyone recovered, but I deteriorated. I isolated from my family and have been in solo quarantine since Saturday the 14th. I had a fever for 11 days, difficulty breathing and was diagnosed with pneumonia. I’m confident that I have finally turned a proverbial corner and am fever free today for the first time since this all started. I was told to stay isolated for another 72 hours before I acclimate back into my family. So, nice try, coronavirus, but I have another 4-5 decades worth of experiences to have with these guys. Furthermore, I want to thank you all for the well wishes and I hope you heed the warnings. Stay safe, stay healthy and stay inside.” We are thrilled to hear that Rikaart is on the mend! We are sure it was a trying time for him and his family.
