This Thursday afternoon it was confirmed that Baby Etchecopar  (57) tested positive for a rapid coronavirus test. He has no symptoms and this noon he had done his program on Radio Rivadavia like every day.

While he is waiting for a swab to finish detecting if he has already had the disease or if he presents it at this time, the driver of Basta Baby (A24, Monday to Friday at 23) remains at his home and tonight a repeated program of his journalistic cycle.

His case joins that of other journalists from the América group who suffered COVID-19 in recent weeks: Alejandro Fantino, Gustavo López, Eduardo Feinmann and Paulo Vilouta, among others.

The news ended up being announced on Twitter by the journalist Pablo Montagna , one of the columnists of Baby en el medi o, the conductor's cycle on Radio Rivadavia .

Baby, known for his controversial style when speaking about current politics, during this time maintained a strong questioning of the way in which President Alberto Fernández and the Ministry of Health dealt with the pandemic.

In that sense, he did not hesitate to call the march that took place in different parts of the country on August 17. He was even seen in person, covered by a mask in the vicinity of Quinta de Olivos, near his home.

Days later, the driver decided to write an open letter that he read on his radio program addressed to Alberto Fernández.

"None of us who went to the march tried to bend his arm. Perhaps the closest thing to his anatomy was wanting to open his ears," the journalist wrote to the president, who had criticized the call.

At this time, while waiting for the result of his swabbing, Baby has already warned that he will return to work this Friday at noon on his program on Radio Rivadavia , but by phone.
