US singer, Trey Songz has tested positive for coronavirus and has urged anyone that contracts the virus to take it seriously.
The 35-year-old in a video shared on Instagram on October 5 revealed his diagnosis to his fans.
He explained that he has been testing for the virus periodically over the last few months but unfortunately received a positive result this time around.
Songz insisted that he is taking his diagnosis ‘seriously’ and will now be self-isolating at home, until he tests negative again.
In the video, Songz – real name Tremaine Aldon Neverson – said;
Here with a very important message to let you know that I’ve tested positive for Covid-19.
I’ve taken many tests because I’ve been out protesting, food drives, of course I have a very young son at home. I’m being tested periodically and this time unfortunately it came back positive.
Songz, who is dad to one-year-old son Noah, continued;
7.45million Americans have contracted Covid, 100,000 black people have died from it. I will be taking this seriously.
I will be self-quarantining, I will be in my house until I see a negative sign.
He added;
My grandfather passed away early this year and while it wasn’t said that it was COVID, I do believe it was; so, I’ve always taken it serious.
Songz advised his fans;
If you come in contact with COVID, please do the same, please do the same – don’t be like the president.
