Giving an update about his health, Sofia said that after Stuzhuk was rushed back to the hospital, he was in a "grave condition" and unconscious. She told her followers that he had "problems with his cardiovascular system... his heart is not coping. His state is extremely grave. No-one can do anything with this," Sky News reported. 

She further added, "I did everything I could so the father of my three children lives. But nothing depends on me now." 

Stuzhuk had shared his experience with his 1.1 million followers on his Instagram handle on October 15. He wrote, "I also thought that there was no Covid… Until I got sick. COVID-19 DISEASE IS NOT EPHEME (short-lived)! And heavy."
