Suriya tests positive for Covid-19

Suriya was last seen in director Sudha Kongara Prasad's Soorarai Pottru, which skipped theatrical release. The film directly released on Amazon Prime Video and received overwhelming reviews from the critics and audience alike. The actor shared a few videos with appropriate information on the novel coronavirus. In several interviews, he spoke about the novel coronavirus and the effect it has on people. Recently, Suriya took to social media to reveal that he has tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

He tweeted in Tamil saying that he's undergoing treatment and is doing fine. After Suriya posted the tweet, his fans became concerned about his health. Soon, Rajsekar Pandian, a close associate and co-producer of Suriya's 2D Productions, said that he is doing fine and that there is nothing to worry. He also posted a translation to Suriya's post. He wrote, "I am undergoing treatment for Covid-19 and am better now. Let us all realise that life hasn't returned to normalcy yet. We also cannot be filled with fear and let life come to a standstill. We still need to be careful and safe. Lots of love and gratitude to the dedicated doctors and medical staff standing by my side (sic)."

’கொரோனா’ பாதிப்பு ஏற்பட்டு, சிகிச்சை பெற்று நலமுடன் இருக்கிறேன். வாழ்க்கை இன்னும் இயல்பு நிலைக்கு திரும்பவில்லை என்பதை அனைவரும் உணர்வோம். அச்சத்துடன் முடங்கிவிட முடியாது. அதேநேரம் பாதுகாப்பும், கவனமும் அவசியம். அர்ப்பணிப்புடன் துணைநிற்கும் மருத்துவர்களுக்கு அன்பும், நன்றிகளும்.
