Add Debi Mazar to the list of celebrities who say they’ve contracted coronavirus<\/p>\n
The actress, known for playing an artist on the TV Land dramedy\u00a0“Younger”\u00a0and the take-no-prisoners publicist on HBO’s “Entourage,” shared the news on Instagram Saturday evening<\/p>\n
She joins a growing number of famous faces who claim to have tested positive for the respiratory illness, including actors Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson\u00a0and\u00a0Idris Elba\u00a0as well as\u00a0Bravo’s Andy Cohen and “Bachelor” star Colton Underwood<\/p>\n
In a lengthy post, Mazar, 55, assured fans she’s doing well<\/p>\n
“I AM OK,” she wrote.<\/p>\n
The actress says, “It cleared up quickly. Seasonal I thought? But it felt unusual\/different…”<\/p>\n
Mazar says her husband and two teenage daughters battled an “odd bug” about a month ago. Symptoms included low-grade fever, headache, sore throat, body aches, ringing ears and a dry cough.<\/p>\n
Then, on March 15, Mazar says she woke up with the same symptoms. Her doctor initially refused to test for coronavirus because she didn’t meet the criteria, which have typically included\u00a0travel to an affected area or contact with someone who has or contact with a confirmed or presumptive positive case<\/p>\n
“I found this kind of a CRAZY criteria for a NY\u2019er as I had taken the subway, gone to the theater, the grocery store, the pharmacy, hair salon, etc,” she wrote. “I was the Mom who was trying to prepare the home and get supplies & bleach wipes, dry goods. extra food etc.”<\/p>\n
A few days later she was able to get tested and Mazar said she got the bad news Saturday.<\/p>\n
“One day I feel crappy and the next I\u2019m normal,” she said in her Instagram post. “Today my lungs are heavy, but I\u2019m tough. I can breath, and I\u2019m going to heal here, in my own home!<\/p>\n
Mazar’s entire family is under a 14-day quarantine.<\/p>\n
