The list of entertainment industry personalities who have tested positive for the coronavirus keeps getting longer as reality star Todd Chrisley revealed he has tested positive and is recovering from the disease.
Deadline reports that the reality TV star and real estate mogul disclosed he was positive for COVID-19 on an episode of his podcast, “Chrisley Confessions.”
According to Chrisley, he has been battling COVID-19 for three weeks running now, with four and a half days spent in the hospital. The 52-year-old says it has been the sickest he has ever been, with his fever raging from 100 to 103 degrees Fahrenheit (37 to 39 degrees Celsius).
While he says he is already recovering, he admits that he is only at 75 percent of what he normally is, with the remaining 25 percent being difficult for him to regain.
Of course, Chrisley’s family was also rattled by his condition. CNN quotes an Instagram post by Chrisley’s daughter, Savannah, who shared that she had never been so scared in her life.
According to her, she and her mom had to talk Chrisley into going into urgent care and get tested since he was showing all the COVID-19 symptoms. Chrisley had gone home and self-isolated after taking the test, and it was at home that he learned he tested positive for the coronavirus. However, it would take a few more days before he would be sick enough to be taken to the emergency room at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
Savannah ended her post by calling on her followers to self-isolate, practice social distancing, and to take the coronavirus seriously.

Aside from the reality TV star, other personalities who have tested positive include Marianne Faithfull, television host Andy Cohen, CNN anchor Chris Cuomo, and actors Ali Wentworth, Idris Elba, Kristofer Hivju, Placido Domingo, Rita Wilson, Tom Hanks, and Olga Kurylenko.
