Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli on
Tuesday donated blood plasma after saying he had had the
coronavirus.
Bocelli told journalists at a Pisa hospital that he had had
mild symptoms, a slight fever, and had practically been
asymptomatic.
Speaking at the blood sampling centre of Cisanello Hospital,
he said his wife and children had also had COVID-19, but were
now fine.
His wife had also given plasma for the study, led by the AOUP
association of Pisa, into treatment for COVID patients.
He said he had discovered he had the virus after taking a
test on March 10.
Bocelli said he hoped his plasma would help find a treatment
for the deadly virus.
