The longstanding country musician has spent over a week in intensive care Country singer John Prine, who has been in intensive care for over a week after contracting COVID-19, remains “very ill,” according to his wife Fiona.
Prine, 73, was hospitalised last Thursday (March 26) after a “sudden onset” of coronavirus symptoms, with his status initially described as “critical”.
On March 30, he was described as “stable”, but Fiona warned that it was not the same as “improving”. In a new update on his condition today (April 3), Fiona wrote on Twitter: “This is John’s 8th day in ICU.
He is receiving excellent medical care and being treated with kindness and compassion by the entire team looking after him day and night.
