Ellen DeGeneres said she endured an “intriguing back pain,” but that she now feels “100%” after testing positive for COVID-19.
On Wednesday, in a medical update, the 62-year-old talk show host put her dog home and addressed the audience via video.
“I feel one hundred percent,” he said in the video posted on social media. “I feel really good.”
Last Thursday, DeGeneres revealed that he had hired COVID-19, noting at the time that he was “well.” However, in Wednesday’s clip, DeGeneres addressed the “back pain” he suffered.
“One thing they don’t tell you is that you have, in some way, an intriguing back pain,” DeGeneres said. “I didn’t know that was a symptom, but I talked to some other people: back pain. Who knew, how is that? Back pain, bad. “
According to the CDC, fever or chills, shortness of breath, fatigue, and a new loss of taste or smell are some of the symptoms of COVID-19.
DeGeneres ’diagnosis followed a BuzzFeed report alleging that“ The Ellen DeGeneres Show ”was struggling to reserve talent and had lost sponsors as a result of toxic workplace claims over the summer.
