Pink has become the latest Hollywood star to announce she has tested positive for coronavirus.<\/p>\n

\n

Like millions of others, the singer has been practising social distancing and self-isolating in her home with her husband, Carey Hart, and two children for the past few weeks \u2013 even putting on a mini-show for fans via Instagram.<\/p>\n

But in a lengthy post on social media today, Pink (real name Alecia Moore), 40, revealed that she\u2019d actually discovered a fortnight ago that she had caught COVID-19 and had only just been cleared of the virus currently crippling the globe.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo weeks ago my three-year old son, Jameson, and I are were showing symptoms of COVID-19. Fortunately, our primary care physician had access to tests and I tested positive,\u201d she wrote alongside a picture of herself and her young son.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy family was already sheltering at home and we continued to do so for the last two weeks following the instruction of our doctor. Just a few days ago we were re-tested and are now thankfully negative.\u201d<\/p>\n

The\u00a0What About Us<\/i>\u00a0singer then slammed the US government for its lack of coronavirus screening.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is an absolute travesty and failure of our government to not make testing more widely accessible. This illness is serious and real,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople need to know that the illness affects the young and old, healthy and unhealthy, rich and poor, and we must make testing free and more widely accessible to protect our children, our families, our friends and our communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pink also announced she would be donating $500,000 (A$834,000) to the Temple University Hospital Emergency Fund in Philadelphia in honour of her mother, Judy, who \u201cworked there for 18 years\u201d. She added that she was donating an additional $500,000 to LA\u2019s Emergency COVID-19 crisis fund.<\/p>\n

\u201cTHANK YOU to all of our healthcare professionals and everyone in the world who are working so hard to protect our loved ones,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are our heroes! These next two weeks are crucial: please stay home. Please. Stay. Home.\u201d<\/p>\n

The United States has the most confirmed coronavirus cases of any country in the world with more than 276,000 reported instances \u2013 more than double the rate of Italy, who has the second most cases. So far more than 7300 people have died of coronavirus with much of the country \u2013 including population dense states New York and California \u2013 in lockdown.<\/p>\n
