After her condition improved, Price said she was discharged because the hospital "needed beds," allowing her to go home with oxygen and at-home health aides who checked on her over the next four weeks.

"I was definitely being seen," the singer continued. "The people who could actually say something were not allowed to because of HIPAA law but I was being seen several times a week."

"I was never missing. I was in my home being seen by doctors," Price said. "Everyone in my family knew where I was and I have to say that it's really disappointing that things came to this but it was not true."

"I have never been in danger," she added. "I am not in danger right now. I am focusing on putting myself first."

"It's one of those things where all my friends were getting it and I got tested just to be careful," Ross said. "The second I got the positive, like three hours later, my body just went 'oh man.' All the symptoms came at once."

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star shared on an episode of Teddi's Tea Pod that she and her husband Edwin Arroyave contracted the virus earlier in the year — but had very different experiences. 

"A while back I had COVID and I didn't really talk about it because I was just really focused on making sure that I was healthy and my family was healthy," Mellencamp said on the podcast. "I was vaccinated and my husband was not, which he has since realized what a big mistake that was."

The Trading Spaces star contracted COVID earlier in July, she shared on Instagram.

"... But I think this is important," she continued. "This really sucks, it feels horrible. But I'm just starting to feel better today where I can do this. I am so grateful to be vaccinated because I know as a person who's had asthma since I was a little girl — and two autoimmunes as an adult — I would be on that hospital table. I would be on the ventilator. I would be the one you were praying about."

The rapper announced the news on Twitter on July 14, writing, "Okay loved ones....sooo.....Ya boy got covid."

"No symptoms. Just stay away from me for a lil while," he added.

In a follow-up tweet, Khalifa shared that, while he's in quarantine, he'll be focusing on staying creative. 

"While im in the house I'll be givin y'all new content, planning raves, and readying this new project," he wrote.

The comedian announced his positive diagnosis on July 15 in an Instagram video that was captioned, "Announcement I didn't want to make on my bday." In the clip, he says that he "got tested by two different types of tests and they both came back positive."

"I've been vaccinated and I give credit to that for getting me through this as quickly as it did," Iglesias added.

Iglesias was due to finish out his 73-performance tour with a stop in San Antonio, Texas, but had to cancel so he can quarantine for 14 days. Those who purchased tickets for the San Antonio show will be issued an automated refund, the Tobin Center venue said in an announcement. 

The entertainment reporter revealed on Instagram in July that she tested positive after caring for her unvaccinated son, 20, initially thinking he had the flu. She warned her followers that "the pandemic is very much NOT over" and that the Delta variant is "relentless and highly contagious and grabbed ahold of me even after getting vaccinated."

She detailed her symptoms in her July 13 Instagram post, sharing that she had two days of a fever, head throbbing, extreme congestion, "even some weird puss coming out of my eye," serious fatigue and "no energy to even leave the bed."

"If you are vaccinated, don't let your guard down," she continued, adding, "**Vaccines lessen the likelihood of hospitalization and death but you can still catch this thing. So continue to protect yourselves."

The Real Time with Bill Maher host tested positive during the show's routine weekly testing in May, according to a statement shared by the series' Twitter account.

Maher is asymptomatic and "feels fine," the statement said, as he is already "fully vaccinated."

"The Friday, May 14th taping of Real Time with Bill Maher has been cancelled," the statement said. "Bill tested positive during weekly staff PCR testing for COVID. He is fully vaccinated and as a result is asymptomatic and feels fine."

Little Big Town announced that singer Sweet (left) was diagnosed with COVID in April during an interview on Audacy. "Well, Philly's not feeling good. We might as well break the news, he's got the COVID," said bandmate Jimi Westbrook. "He seems to be holding off the really bad stuff, just a little not feeling great."

Lead singer Karen Fairchild added, "Over the hump today, he's hoping. ... He is, unfortunately, so sad and missing out on this whole ACM week. But he'll be back soon."

Little Big Town, nominated for group of the year at the 2021 ACM Awards, is set to perform their latest "Wine, Beer, Whiskey" on Broadway during the April 18 broadcast. 

The country star had to miss the first live taping of American Idol on April 12 after testing positive for COVID-19. 

"I'm sad to say I won't be a part of tonight's first live @americanidol show," he wrote on Twitter. "I tested positive for COVID but I'm doing well and look forward to being back at it soon."

In late March, the former governor of Alaska and 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee-turned-TV personality confirmed in a statement to PEOPLE that she contracted the coronavirus as did some of her family members, including 12-year-old son Trig. She said much of the family lost senses of taste and smell, in addition to fevers and sore muscles. 

"As confident as I'd like to be about my own health, and despite my joking that I'm blessed to constantly breathe in the most sterile (frozen!) air, my case is perhaps one of those that proves anyone can catch this," Palin said in her statement.

Simpson shared a health update in an Instagram post in late March as she promoted her upcoming essay for Amazon's Original Stories series.

"This past year has been especially intense for me and so many of you. I started writing this essay on the same day I received a positive test result for COVID-19," she shared in the caption, though she did not go into details about her experience with the virus or say exactly when she was sick.

"I decided instead of being driven by fear, I would manifest a hopeful conversation with you," she continued. "I felt strong, resilient, and God-inspired through my pen teaching me as I was sharing with you ways to get to the other side of fear."

On March 29, the chef revealed to fans that her family has had a difficult few weeks, with her aunt, uncle and herself all having recently tested positive for COVID-19. "Personally I had Covid! Now do not have Covid! I do have the antibodies," she explained on Instagram. Detailing some of her symptoms, she added that she chose not to share until now " because I didn't want to bring any attention to it .....certainly not with everything Else already going on. Sweet baby Jesus!"

In a March 2021 interview with Babe by HATCH, the Czech supermodel revealed that she recovered from COVID-19 after being diagnosed with it while pregnant. Kurková is currently expecting her third child with husband Archie Drury, a baby girl they'll name Luna Grace.

"At first, finding out I had COVID while pregnant was unnerving, especially as I didn't know anybody who had it while they were pregnant," she said. "I remember we didn't have symptoms but decided to get tested, and sure enough, the next day, the doctor called with a 'positive' result."

"The first night I was a little scared but went into full-on mama-bear mode. I had to stay vital for everyone," adds Kurková, who is also mom to sons Noah Lee, 5, and Tobin Jack, 11.

She says she then quarantined in her apartment with her husband and two boys with "no help." Thankfully, her symptoms were mild — "but it was still intense," she added.
