He explained that recovery was tough and that the illness left him feeling diminished in both mind and movement. The artist described post covid syndrome as a harsh and very unpleasant condition, noting that it has not yet fully passed for him.
On July 14, 2021, Boyarsky was admitted to the hospital due to COVID-19. It was later reported that he was discharged on July 23. He also shared that he continued to receive work offers but chose to decline them, explaining that he was not interested in returning to professional duties at that time.
