Stars Who Recovered From Coronavirus
Despite contracting the deadly coronavirus, which has claimed the lives of thousands worldwide, these celebs fought the COVID-19 sickness and survived.
Former star of The Bachelor Colton Underwood also came forward as one of the biggest stars to test positive for the new coronavirus — however he has since recovered. On March 20, Colton revealed that he was self-isolating in Huntington Beach, CA at the home of Cassie Randolph’s parents. He made the announcement in an Instagram video filmed at his girlfriend’s parents’ house, saying, “I want to let you guys know: I’m 28, I consider myself pretty healthy, I work out regularly, I eat healthy, and I became symptomatic a few days ago, got my test results back today, and they are positive,” Colton said in the video.
Right after Colton revealed his positive coronavirus test, Andy Cohen sadly had the same news to share. The 51-year-old host of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen! — which was put on pause — revealed in an Instagram post that “after a few days of self-quarantine” and “not feeling great,” he tested positive for COVID-19. He has since made a full recovery and reunited with his family.
