Pink<\/a> revealed on social media Friday that the singer and her young son had tested positive to \u2014 and have since recovered from \u2014 COVID-19. The singer also announced she would donate $1 million to coronavirus<\/a>-related funds.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTwo weeks ago my three-year old son, Jameson, and I are were showing symptoms of COVID-19. Fortunately, our primary care physician had access to tests and I tested positive,\u201d Pink wrote.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy family was already sheltering at home and we continued to do so for the last two weeks following the instruction of our doctor. Just a few days ago we were re-tested and are now thankfully negative.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The singer added, \u201cIt is an absolute travesty and failure of our government to not make testing more widely accessible. This illness is serious and real. People need to know that the illness affects the young and old, healthy and unhealthy, rich and poor, and we must make testing free and more widely accessible to protect our children, our families, our friends and our communities.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In her post, Pink revealed that she would donate $1 million, with $500,000 going to both the Temple University Hospital Emergency Fund (the singer\u2019s mother worked at that hospital for 18 years) and the City of Los Angeles Mayor\u2019s Emergency COVID-19 Crisis Fund.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pink also thanked the health care workers and doctors nationwide and reiterated to her fans, \u201cThese next two weeks are crucial: please stay home. Please. Stay. Home.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Two weeks ago my three-year old son, Jameson, and I are were showing symptoms of COVID-19. Fortunately, our primary care physician had access to tests and I tested positive. My family was already sheltering at home and we continued to do so for the last two weeks following the instruction of our doctor. Just a few days ago we were re-tested and are now thankfully negative. It is an absolute travesty and failure of our government to not make testing more widely accessible. This illness is serious and real. People need to know that the illness affects the young and old, healthy and unhealthy, rich and poor, and we must make testing free and more widely accessible to protect our children, our families, our friends and our communities. In an effort to support the healthcare professionals who are battling on the frontlines every day, I am donating $500,000 to the Temple University Hospital Emergency Fund in Philadelphia in honor of my mother, Judy Moore, who worked there for 18 years in the Cardiomyopathy and Heart Transplant Center. Additionally, I am donating $500,000 to the City of Los Angeles Mayor\u2019s Emergency COVID-19 Crisis Fund. THANK YOU to all of our healthcare professionals and everyone in the world who are working so hard to protect our loved ones. You are our heroes! These next two weeks are crucial: please stay home. Please. Stay. Home.\u2764\ufe0f<\/a><\/p>\n
