Madonna Clarifies Coronavirus Diagnosis, She Had it During 'Cursed' Paris Leg of Tour

Madonna has claimed she battled coronavirus, after getting the disease when her Madame X world tour reached Paris in March. She says she has since recovered.

The tour ended three days before the scheduled date, after the French government announced a ban on gatherings of more than 1,000 people, in a bid to curb the spread of the virus.

After recently revealing she had tested positive for coronavirus antibodies, Madonna shared the news to Instagram that she will be donating $1.1 million towards finding a cure for coronavirus.

“I’m Grateful that I can be a part of supporting Research to Find the cure for Covid -19!! And just to clear things up for people who would rather believe sensationalist headlines than do their own research about the nature of this virus— I am not currently sick,” she said.

“When you test positive for anti-bodies it means you HAD the virus which I. clearly did as I was sick at the end of my tour in Paris over 7 weeks ago along with many other artists in my show but at the time,” she added.

She had earlier shed light on her diagnosis, saying: “Took a test the other day, and I found out that I have the antibodies. So tomorrow, I’m just going to go for a long drive in the car… and I’m going to breathe in the COVID-19 air. Yep. I hope the sun is shining.”
