Andy Cohen & Debi Mazar Both Test Positive for COVID-19
Over the weekend both Andy Cohen and Debi Mazar revealed that they have tested positive for the new coronavirus.
On Friday, the Bravo TV personality took to Instagram to let his followers know he has COVID-19.
"After a few days of self-quarantine, and not feeling great, I have tested positive for Coronavirus," Cohen wrote. "As much as I felt like I could push through whatever I was feeling to do #WWHL from home, we're putting a pin in that for now so I can focus on getting better."
Cohen, 51, announced last year that he became a father to now-1-year-old Benjamin.
"I want to thank all the medical professionals who are working tirelessly for all of us, and urge everybody to stay home and take care of themselves," he added.
Not long after that, Mazar revealed she also has COVID-19. The "Younger" star shared an Instagram post Saturday, saying she's doing OK but about a month ago she and her husband, along with their teen daughters, "got an odd bug — Low-grade fever, headaches, sore throat, body aches, ears ringing and a dry cough. It cleared up quickly."
"Seasonal I thought? but it felt unusual/different," she wrote. "Two weeks later, March 15th, I woke up with all those same symptoms but super intense body aches, and 102.4 fever."
She went on to discuss the difficulties of getting a COVD-19 test but found out she was able to get tested at a local facility in her neighborhood and began to self-quarantine.
"Well..today is day 5 and I just found out," Mazar wrote. "I'm hoping I've been through the worst of it already. Its very 'morphy.' One day I feel crappy and the next I'm normal."
Cohen and Mazar are the latest celebrities to be tested positive for the novel coronavirus, which has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization and, as of this writing, has infected 341,000 people globally. Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson, Idris Elba, Harvey Weinstein and more have also been tested positive for COVID-19.
