"Two weeks ago my three-year old son, Jameson,
and I were showing symptoms of COVID-19. Fortunately, our
primary care physician had access to tests and I tested
positive," she wrote in an Instagram post.
"My 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," Pink said in the post, alongside a picture
of her with her son.
She also called for testing to be made free and more available,
saying it was an "absolute travesty and failure of our
government to not make testing more widely accessible."
The singer, who is known for pop songs like 'What About Us,'
'Just Give Me A Reason' and 'Just Like A Pill,' also announced a
donation of $1 million, split equally between the Temple
University Hospital Emergency Fund in Philadelphia and the City
of Los Angeles Mayor's Emergency COVID-19 Crisis Fund.
