Broadcast legend Larry King is reportedly in the hospital with COVID-19, with a source close to the family telling CNN that he’s been in the hospital for more than a week now.
With safety protocols put into place at hospitals to help control the latest surge of Covid cases, this means that his 3 sons have reportedly been unable to visit their father during this health crisis.
The story has been confirmed by ABC News with a source saying,
“Larry has fought so many health issues in the last few years and he is fighting this one hard too, he’s a champ.”
King has battled through several heart attacks, lung cancer, and angina. In 2019 he suffered a stroke just weeks after heart surgery! There’s no doubt that he is a tough as nails man, so, we hope that Covid will be just another bump in the road for him.
