Just as 2020 was about to bid farewell, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. actress Chloe Bennet made a stunning revelation about her health on social media. The Marvel star confirmed that she's tested positive for COVID-19 during Christmas.
Taking to her Instagram stories, Chloe penned a lengthy statement confirming her current situation. "Hey haven't been on here for a little, wanted to give an update… On Christmas morning I woke up with a high fever, and unable to breathe. I got tested, and I'm positive for COVID-19 … it's been a rough week to say the least. Multiple members of my family are also infected, we've all been battling it out together. We're still not in the clear, but as of now we're doing…okay."
"I'm sharing this because I want to iterate to anyone who still may not be taking covid seriously, please please please f****** do. Copied sucks. It just really sucks," she continued. "I pride myself on staying healthy, I always wore a mask, social distanced, and took all the necessary precautions and I still got VERY sick. And I'm one of the lucky ones. I repeat! I'm young, healthy, and diligent about my health and this virus still knocked me the **** down and continues to do so. Even trying to just write this out is proving to be exhausting."
To end her post, the Quake actress reminded her followers to take the COVID-19 situation seriously. "So I guess I'm on here just trying to remind anyone whose reading this, that yes 2020 is coming to an end, but this pandemic is still raging on, and if you can don't let up. Stay distant, stay safe, wear a mask. On that note, I love you guys, stay healthy, and happy (almost) new year. X CB. P.S. **** you 2020, I can't wait to not be in you."
Following the news, Bennet received an outpour of support from her fans who extended their well-wishes not only to Chloe but to the members of her family who've apparently caught the coronavirus as well.
We've yet to get a new update regarding Bennet's health status but let this incident be a reminder that the pandemic still isn't over and that the COVID-19 virus can affect virtually anyone. It's real, folks. Anyway, we're wishing you a speedy recovery, Chloe!
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. aired its final episode in August of 2020.
