Kristy Swanson has starred in several Hallmark movies, including A Lesson in Romance with Scott Grimes and Paul Butcher and Winter’s Dream with Dean Cain. She also starred in A Christmas Wish with Tess Harper and Operation Cupcake with Dean Cain.

After Kristy was taken to hospital by ambulance, she shared a series of tweets, asking her fans and followers for prayers. In the first tweet, Swanson wrote, “Prayers for me please. Yesterday I took an ambulance ride to the hospital. I’m still here with pneumonia, I’m on oxygen etc, all covid related of course. I’m in good spirits and in great hands.”

Kristy’s fans were quick to respond and a number of hours later, she gave an update on Twitter. She wrote, “Thank you all for the prayers it truly means a lot to me. I can feel it. Just little more clarification & update, I was just at the tail end of my Covid diagnosis when it jumped into my lungs. So they are treating me with Baricitinib & blood thinners so I don’t clot. I’m ok…”

In a further tweet, Kristy applauded the medical staff at Virtua Memorial in Mount Holly, NJ. She wrote, “Virtua memorial in Mount Holly NJ has been incredible. They are so on top it and have a wonderful staff. My night nurse is Rose and I love her because she takes care of me and that’s my moms name. The paramedics in NJ are super pro, friggin amazing and hot AF! I’m doing great.”

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.
