The two-time world champion and Olympic silver medallist was tested three times after showing symptoms with only the first returning a positive result, according to news site Gazeta which credited original reporting from Mash.ru.
Medvedeva, who turned 21 on Thursday, insisted on being tested again after continuing to suffer symptoms and was found to be positive once more.
She is now isolating in Moscow and receiving treatment.
Fans had hoped to see Medvedeva at this weekend's Grand Prix of Russia in Moscow, but the skater has not been seen since September's Russian test skates due to long-running back problems.
Immediately after that exhibition in Moscow, Medvedeva announced she was leaving Brian Orser to reunite with former coach Eteri Tutberidze in part because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The news of her positive test comes 24 hours after another Tutberidze skater, Anna Shcherbakova, was forced to pull out of the Rostelecom Cup through illness with reports claiming she was suffering from pneumonia.

I would just like to remind you of the safety rules - wear masks, gloves properly.

Olympic medalist in figure skating, choreographer and producer Ilya Averbukh told why the two-time world champion Evgenia Medvedeva refused to participate in the Ice Age TV show. According to him, the skater was aimed at participating in competitions. http://instagram.com/p/B_o_6gmqsCG “Of course, I really wanted Zhenya Medvedeva to take part in the project as a participant ... Back in August, when Zhenya was training at CSKA, I made an offer in terms of her performance as a participant. Zhenya then categorically refused, because she decided to act as a participant in the season. Everything is clear here. I really want to see Zhenya and Alina ( Zagitova. - Approx. Of the "Championship" ) together, it seems to me that this is still the future, because in this connection of theirs it is possible to unite fans, because no one these football passions, as I call them, in figure skating, in my opinion, they are not needed, ”Averbukh said in an interview with Vasily Konov's YouTube channel. Olympic silver medalist in ice dancing, producer, choreographer and director Ilya Averbukh told how his work in the Ice Age television project affects him. Recall that Averbukh is a producer and director of the TV show. “Of course, you miss somewhere. And then I annoy myself for all these mistakes. This is a very fast, exhausting job. Therefore, for four years I did not approach her. I remember how after the last "Ice Age" I said: I will not enter this hell again. Honestly, I lost my mind a little. You live in the world of these dances, and you have some images all the time. Even when you are not working, there is a musical cacophony in your head. But on the other hand, this is a special and interesting world,” Averbukh said on the air of Channel One. |
