Hospitalized with pneumonia, where he was admitted urgently a week ago, Fontana bunch recovers favorably. This was confirmed by her daughter Antonella, who also hopes that in the next few days there will be news regarding the driver’s medical discharge, who is assisted at the Fernández Hospital.
“Dad is doing well, in good spirits. If everything continues like this, next week I will have news”Antonella Fontana told the journalist Juan Etchegoyen through a WhatsApp message, who read it in his Miter Live cycle, adding that the young woman emphasized her father’s state of mind.

It is not the first hospitalization of Cacho Fontana. In recent times, the historic radio host had entered the medical center located in the Palermo neighborhood. For example, on April 23 he celebrated his birthday and left the home where he is to be able to meet with his family in an intimate barbecue.
And a year ago, between April and May of last year, he had been hospitalized for ten days for a complication in his coronavirus chart. On that occasion, the announcer’s daughter had told teleshow who celebrated his birthday in a good mood, just as he is these days. “A swab had been performed on April 20, which was negative. On Saturday followingnoon-night he had to be transferred to the Fernández hospital. He has pneumonia. As required by protocol, they carried out a new test to detect the presence of coronavirus in the hospital and the result was positive. He already had COVID-19 and has the first dose of AstraZeneca “.
Meanwhile, on April 26, from the Hospital, he himself had had to deny the news of his death, false information that circulated on social networks. “I am alive”, he said at the time, two days following that hospitalization. “A doctor recently told me to deny it. I told: ´Look, what you deny, later they approve it, they give it upside down´”commented the driver putting a touch of humor. And he added: “They’re going to do it when the ratings go down, and then they’re going to say it on a downswing. I am currently airing two programs that have a vast majority in their audience, so for me this is my last time I speak, I don’t know how to title it. Thank you very much for this enriching moment.”
In 2021, celebrating his 89th birthday, he spoke with teleshow: “I’m very well. I feel better than someone 89 years old, which is already a lot”. While he admitted that the pandemic affected him: “I am very well cared for at this clinic. I live here. And, anyway… (she sighed) there is a similar climate everywhere in the world… we have to get used to this”.
“The days are very long for me… Endless. I have to be in bed a lot. If not, at another time, you eat, take a nap, get up, have a snack, let some time pass and eat once more. If I didn’t take care of myself, right now I would be El Gordo Porcel ”, he reflected a little over a year ago.
“I think a lot regarding the past and I remember what I experienced, for the better… I keep in mind my teammates, like Antonio Carrizo, who was a teacher for me. And to many others. My birthday is another day. I don’t celebrate it with grace because it’s been many years, but I celebrate that I’m living it “, closed that interview.
