Other Hallmark Stars Have Suffered COVID-19

Meanwhile, Swanson isn’t the first Hallmark actor to reveal they had been diagnosed with COVID-19. Aaron Tveit, star of One Royal Holiday, contracted the virus in New York. He made a post on Instagram on March 23, 2020, writing that his symptoms were very mild and he didn’t have a fever.

Tveit added that he was grateful for this as “this is a very dangerous virus.” However, he did lose his sense of smell and taste, as well as feeling fatigued. Aaron had been in quarantine since Broadway shows shut down on March 12, 2020, and was feeling much better.

According to Variety, Tveit initially thought he was suffering from allergies, until someone else starring in his musical tested positive. Reportedly, his sense of taste and smell returned around 21 days later.
