For the moment, the artist has been diagnosed with severe pneumonia, but he is still awaiting the results of those other cardiological and neurological medical tests that have been carried out during his admission, according to what he himself reported a few hours before his medical discharge in their social networks.

“Still no clear diagnosis apart from severe pneumonia.

But not caused by any virus at all as you comment here, but by a bacterium.

I still have endless tests and the ones I have left... Apart from sinusitis and the odd thing related to the lungs... but thank God everything is fine", the dancer and choreographer wrote in the early hours of this Monday, April 10 in his official Instagram account to his 151,000 followers.

“We still don't know anything about the syncopes.

The important thing is that I'm going to leave here as good as new.

Thank God nothing that prevents me from continuing with my profession as I came to think at some point.

Rather the other way around.

Dance is what has saved me.

And everything she has done with my body”, added the artist in the same publication.

It's hard for me to write, but I'll be back very, very strong so you know!!

Thanks again for that energy and that strength that you have sent me from every corner of the world.

I owe you a good tour as soon as I recover !!!”, he wrote.

The dancer recognized days after his admission that he had been feeling for some time that something was not going well in his body.

“Weeks ago I started to be quite sick, I had a chest cough, tiredness, headache… Even so, I was rehearsing without rest for weeks… and I was able to dance in Madrid at the Teatro Real [on March 14] and in Barcelona at the Liceu [el 26 de marzo]”, Cortés explained in a statement published on April 2.

The final scare for the artist would come when he was playing with his two children, Romeo, three years old, and Andrea, two.

“I just blacked out.

I arrived at the emergency room with very low blood oxygen saturation.

Since then they have been doing cardiology, neurology and pneumology tests on me.

I'm on antibiotics and oxygen."
