Dancing With The Stars’ fans had a long two weeks after “unexpected health issues” caused Artem Chigvintsev to pull out of the show’s live tour. Recently, the star shared an update to ease the hearts of worried fans. However, they continue to express their concern for their beloved dancer.
Based on Artem’s Instagram Story update, the professional dancer won’t be joining the tour anytime soon. Artem said in his update, “I had another X-ray done yesterday and it came back still positive for pneumonia,” He further added, “so I just got another set of antibiotics. This is course No. 2. Hopefully, this one will do the magic,”
Soon after he shared the update, a Reddit user kicked off a thread on the DWTS subreddit. A user wrote, “I just hope … he’s still resting up.” while another added, “From what I gather he no longer has COVID. But he was one of the extra unlucky ones who got pneumonia. I would think he is following doctors orders on the matter.”
Many echoed the same sentiments with some expressing their concern for Artem’s fiancee Nikki Bella. They were worried about what she could bring home while Artem is in recovery as she’s not limiting her public outings. A fan wrote on the platform,
“His COVID infection is long gone, but yes, he should limit his outings since his immune system is extremely fragile. Nikki should also be limiting her outings (she’s not) as she could bring something as simple as a cold to Artem and it would set him back,”
