Khabib Nurmagomedov: Father awake and coronavirus-free, but ‘his condition is still serious’

Khabib Nurmagomedov’s father remains in intensive care in a Moscow hospital, but he’s awake and responsive after he was removed from a medically induced coma.

“His condition is still serious, he’s still in intensive care,” Nurmagomedov said on Russian television via RT Sport. “The coronavirus itself is behind him, but the virus has had consequences for his kidneys and his heart.

“As for the virus, there’s no need to worry, only about the other consequences.”

Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, 57, was admitted to a military hospital in Moscow after he suffered an apparent stroke due to complications caused after he was diagnosed with COVID-19.
