The musician says he attempted to receive testing for symptoms a month ago Country musician Sturgill Simpson has revealed he’s tested positive for coronavirus, sharing a post to his Instagram account yesterday (April 11).
Simpson says that he sought out medical care on March 13 after experiencing chest pains, fever and pre-stroke blood pressure levels but was refused testing by doctors because he was told he did not fit the criteria.
The Nashville-based artist says he was unable to obtain testing until nearly a month later on April 6. He says he received the news on April 10 from the CDC stating his test had resulted in a positive detection for COVID-19.
