Reality TV Star Tested Positive For COVID-19
On Friday, March 20, Underwood announced on Twitter and Instagram that he is yet another celebrity that has contracted coronavirus. Last week, he began practicing social distancing. But a few days ago, he began experiencing symptoms and arranged to get himself tested. His fears were confirmed when the test came back positive for the infection.
Coronavirus Doesn’t Discriminate
The Bachelor alum explained that the virus doesn’t discriminate and nobody is immune to getting the infection. The reality star said that COVID-19 doesn’t care about your age or how healthy you are. He asked that everyone take care of themselves. He added for people to protect their loved ones by staying home if exposed.
The Bachelor Spoilers: Alum Urges Self-Quarantine
Underwood, who appeared on season 23 posted a brief video to share an important message about coronavirus. At only 28 years old, he considers himself a healthy guy who works out and eats healthy. However, that didn’t protect him from getting the illness.
The reality star also urged that if anyone is hesitant to self-quarantine, the act can end up protecting others.
“For anyone out there that is hesitant to self-quarantine… please do yourself and your loved ones a favor and stay home. We will all beat this and come out stronger on the other side. I’ll keep you posted, Love y’all.”

Colton Underwood Explains His Symptoms
As for the symptoms he is experiencing, The Bachelor alum said that the virus has him beyond exhausted. He can’t even walk up a staircase without gasping for air. Simple tasks that people take for granted, like getting out of bed are almost too much. When he walks into the bathroom, he has to sit down because the short steps getting there left him completely depleted.
He also suffers from headaches, body aches, night sweats, coughing, shortness of breath and fever.

The global pandemic is putting even young, healthy, strong people in the ICU on ventilators. Although the infection is spreading at a rapid rate, there are many cases that aren’t reported to the CDC, so the numbers are likely much higher. Some people are asymptomatic, which means they show no symptoms of the illness even though they are infected. Those individuals can still transmit it to others, which is why getting tested is important.
We send our best wishes to Underwood and hope he recovers quickly!
