A source revealed to the publication that the celebrity’s children have been barred from visiting him due to the country’s restrictions and risks they would potentially bring to other patients and hospital workers.
On top of his recent diagnosis, Larry also suffers from Type 2 diabetes and has undergone a number of procedures over the years to treat the condition.
It is understood the iconic media personality has been in hospital for 10 days and it is widely suspected that he got the disease from a medic. According to the 87-year-old, a healthcare worker had visited his home prior to his diagnosis and he fell ill shortly after.
The former CNN employee also had one of his sons test positive for the virus. Larry finally moved from the hospital’s ICU after his health started improving.
