Country star Sturgill Simpson has tested positive for the coronavirus after taking a drive-thru test, weeks after first reporting symptoms at a local hospital. The 41-year-old Grammy winner revealed that he first went to the hospital on March 13 due to chest pains, fever and high blood pressure, but was denied a COVID-19 test.
He explained that on April 6, he and his wife managed to get tested at a free drive-thru testing facility outside a National Guard depot. “On Friday April 10th,” he revealed, “after almost one month without any symptoms, I received a call from the Nashville CDC stating that my test resulted in a positive detection for Covid-19.” His wife tested negative, but he is now on quarantine at home until April 19.
