Spanish actor Antonio Resines, 67, is admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the Gregorio Marañón hospital in Madrid, where he remains stable and conscious, due to acute respiratory failure due to a bilateral pneumonia with a serious prognosis caused by covid-19, according to a medical report.

The statement from the hospital center indicates that his clinical situation is stable and that “he is conscious, without requiring invasive mechanical ventilation and receiving treatments and high-flow oxygen therapy.”

The Resines family thanked Efe for the interest and affection, but begs for “tranquility and serenity”, and assured that they will give news of any news.

In a later statement, they clarified that the actor “had received only the first two doses of the vaccine, and he was a few days away from the appointment for the third when he tested positive for covid, which prevented him from receiving the booster dose.”

“Antonio Resines has been and continues to be a STRONG DEFENDER of vaccination for the whole world”, adds the family, who asks to avoid publishing “any information that is not verified.”

The popular artist, winner of a Goya for Best Actor in 1998, was born in Torrelavega, Cantabria (northern Spain), on August 7, 1954

Among his current projects, Resines is one of the actors in the third installment of “Padre no hay más que uno”, by Santiago Segura, which he had joined in the role of grandfather and which began filming in Madrid last day 16. He is also recording the series “We feel the inconvenience”, with Miguel Rellán.

The Spanish Government has approved a decree that once again makes the use of outdoor masks mandatory, at a time when the sixth wave of the pandemic is raging and a record of infections has once again been reached, with more than 60,000 in a just day.
