Actor D.L. Hughley Tests Positive for Coronavirus After Collapsing Onstage
D.L. Hughley has announced that he tested positive for coronavirus after collapsing on stage during a show in Nashville.
Speaking about this, his publicist Yvette Shearer said thatthe 57-year-old actor-comedian was suffering from exhaustion after working and traveling during the week.
And on his Instagram, Hughley said the positive diagnosis came after a battery of tests were performed when he was taken to Nashville’s Saint Thomas Hospital Friday night after his collapse.
“I was what they call asymptomatic,” Hughley said in his post. “I didn’t have flu-like symptoms, I didn’t have shortness of breath, I didn’t have difficulty breathing, I didn’t have a cough, I didn’t have a low grade fever. I still don’t have a fever. I didn’t have a loss of smell or taste, apparently I just lost consciousness.”
He said he will be going back to his hotel room to quarantine for two weeks after leaving the hospital. “Well thank you for your prayers and your well wishes and a few more of them wouldn’t hurt, so hopefully I won’t develop symptoms. Maybe this is as bad as it gets,” he said.
