Broadway star Brian Stokes Mitchell has tested positive for the novel coronavirus, he revealed on Wednesday night in a video posted on Twitter.
In his message, the 62-year-old performer assured followers that despite his diagnosis, he is already on the mend. "Hey friends, family and Stokes folks, I hope you all are well," he said. "I've been laying low for the last number of days because I could feel my body fighting something unusual, and I just got confirmation that I have indeed tested positive for the coronavirus." He added, "The good news is, over the last few days I've isolated myself.
I come to you from the bedroom." Stokes Mitchell also said that his wife, Allyson Tucker, and their son, Ellington, are asymptomatic at the moment.
