Newsroom November 8 12:30

Vassilis Mointinis, a bodybuilding athlete, spoke about his health adventure with the coronavirus.

The athlete remained intubated for about two months in the ICU and, as he said, lost 42 kilos, as a result of which he weighs only 62 today.

“I did not have time to get vaccinated, as I had an operation. I got sick on May 27th and I had an appointment for the vaccine on June 2nd. We all need to get the vaccine”, he said.

“After 3 days of treatment at home, my oxygen went to 70. I went to ‘Sotiria’ Hospital and they put me directly in the Intensive Care Unit. I was scared, I did not want to do it”, added the bodybuilding athlete.

However, although he has been intubated for several months, he confessed that he still has problems with movement and breathing.
