There are a few things we know about the coronavirus, also known as COVID-19. For instance, it can happen to anyone, young or old, famous or not famous, rich or poor. We have heard about some of our favorite celebrities testing positive for the rapidly spreading virus. Here are a few known people who were diagnosed and what they have to say.
Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson both tested positive on March 12th and have since recovered and stated they are “better than ever”.
Former Bachelor, Colton Underwood, shared his diagnosis on March 20th. He wanted to inform everyone to “stay home, we will all beat this and come out stronger”.
Kevin Durant, a Golden State Warriors player, tested positive on March 17th along with three of his teammates who asked not to be named. All he said in an interview with People.com was that he wants “Everyone to be careful, take care of yourself and quarantine if needed.”
Since those diagnoses, there have been more major ones including Prince Albert II, Senator Rand Paul, Prince Charles, etc. They all have the same thing to say about being safe and with that includes staying home, washing your hands frequently, social distancing and of course, no get-togethers in any way. With that being said, stay safe and happy quarantine!
