The 55-year-old was put on “liters and liters” of oxygen as doctors battled the disease and he says at one point he realized that there were plans being developed should he take a turn for the worse.
“It was a tough old moment, I won’t deny it. They had a strategy to deal with a ‘death of Stalin’-type scenario. I was not in particularly brilliant shape and I was aware there were contingency plans in place. The doctors had all sorts of arrangements for what to do if things went badly wrong,” he said.
He also told the news outlet that he initially didn’t think much of it when he tested positive for the virus in early March, but as his health deteriorated, he was hospitalized and moved into intensive care as the rest of the country faced lockdown requirements.
