Jennifer Wayne of Runaway June shared on Instagram on Wednesday (4/15) that she had tested positive for COVID-19. The singer seems to be feeling better, but she decided to share her experience so that others may know what to expect.
“I’ve been struggling with whether or not to share, because to be honest it’s kind of rocked me and I wasn’t sure that putting it on a public platform was right for me,” she writes in the post.
She then continued, saying she believes she was exposed to the virus at the grocery store, as it is the only place she has been. While she was hesitant to share the news, she decided to post so that she could help others learn how to fight the sickness.
“Everyone is different, and each body’s immune system fights it off in a different way, so I am definitely not saying I have any answers… just wanted to share what I did in case it helps,” she writes. “I loaded up on Vitamin C, Vitamin D3, B complex; chaga mushrooms and ZINC! Lots of Zinc. I also drank more water and Gatorade then I ever have in my life. I wanted to flush that thing out of my system. Those vitamins and staying hydrated and rest were a lifesaver for me.”
She also shared that she will now be donating her blood and plasma to help others dealing with the virus.
Wayne shared the news alongside a photo of herself holding up a piece of paper that reads, “3 things I’m grateful for: 1. My parents did not get the virus. 2. My body, which has been so harshly judged in the past, fought it off and kept me healthy. 3. I have had incredible family and friend support. I am a lucky girl.”
