The Young and the Restless spoilers reveal Greg Rikaart finally got tested for coronavirus and it came back positive. Just last week, he posted on social media about multiple doctors refusing to give him a test. As a precaution, he self-isolated and his instincts were correct. Find out more about what the soap star had to say about his COVID-19 symptoms, his condition deteriorating and getting diagnosed.
Doctors Refused To Do Coronavirus Test
As we previously reported, Y&R spoilers reveal Rikaart turned to social media after three different doctors refused to administer a COVID-19 test. The soap actor had a feeling he was infected with the coronavirus. At first, he was diagnosed with allergies. Then, he just got worse, but nobody would give him a test for the infection that is sweeping across the globe.
Y&R Spoilers: Greg Rikaart’s Symptoms
Rikaart explained on Instagram that two weeks ago, everyone in his home came down with a cough. Everyone got better except for the soap star. In fact, his condition continued to get worse. To protect his family, including his child, he decided to be proactive and self-isolate. However, time did not allow his body to recover and his condition began to become serious.
Condition Deteriorated, Developed Pneumonia
The Young and the Restless spoilers reveal eventually, Rikaart would once again seek medical help. By the time doctors gave him a test for coronavirus, he had already developed pneumonia.
In the actor’s post from last week, one of the reasons doctors refused to test him for COVID-19 is because he didn’t meet the strict criteria. He was also told that there were limited testing kits, which were being reserved for the most serious cases.

Despite Rikaart knowing deep inside his gut that he was infected with coronavirus, he could not get tested until it became serious. However, he is just starting to show improvement and is on the road to recovery.
“I had a fever for 11 days, difficulty breathing and was diagnosed with pneumonia.”
He definitely seems in better spirits and is glad to be on the mend. He wrote,
“So, nice try coronavirus, but I have another 4-5 decades worth of experiences to have with these guys.”
We are happy that Greg Rikaart is finally getting better. It’s been a tough few weeks for the soap actor. We continue to send our best wishes to him and his family.
