Richard Schiff has been hospitalized for coronavirus, as the ‘The Good Doctor’ star revealed on Monday that he is “showing some improvement every day.”
The latest news about Richard Schiff comes after himself and his wife, Sheila Kelley, had tested positive in early November 2020.
Richard Schiff updating fans about their family coronavirus battles, said he is being treated with Remdesivir, oxygen and steroids and “showing some improvement every day.” Kelley “is home and doing better but still fairly ill. Love you all” he said.
On her part, Kelley taking to Instagram wrote that “the last 72 hours have been tough” with Schiff in the hospital on oxygen and Remdesivir. “He is doing better. Getting stronger,” she said.
Kelley also revealed that their son is battling COVID too.
“I have never experienced anything like this before,” Kelley wrote. “One minute I’m feeling pretty good and the next I’m struggling to breathe.”
The Good Doctor remained in production in Vancouver following Schiff’s and Kelley’s COVID diagnosis. I hear shooting is continuing, with the filming schedule reshuffled to accommodate the duo’s temporary absence.
Both Richard Schiff and Kelley thanked fans for their well wishes. Additionally, Kelley had a message for them. “Keep masking up. Washing hands. Stay away from the virus. It is a mother’f-er.”
On The Good Doctor, Schiff plays Dr. Aaron Glassman, the mentor and good friend to Shaun (Freddie Highmore). Kelley plays Glassman’s wife.
