JoJo Siwa opens up about having Coronavirus earlier this year.
The 17-year-old entertainer revealed in a new interview that she has already had it and recovered, as well as her parents and brother Jayden.
“I did end up getting it, the big, dreaded COVID-19. It got through my whole family,” she told ET. “We had headaches, we were tired, we had shortness of breath, we had all the things. All my family actually lost their taste and smell, but all have it back. But I never did.”
“Everyone who gets this virus, it’s gonna affect them differently,” JoJo added. “We were all, like, three days apart.”
“Everything’s still OK, we’re still good,” she said. “I am single as a Pringle right now. But Mark and I did break up. We were together for three months and it was great. We had fun, we drove through Taco Bell, I think, 450 times. We had some really fun nights. We never actually had any hard times, we never fought, we never were mad at each other. It was honestly a great time.”
JoJo revealed that work for the both of the them got in the way.
“It just, we had to work. He had to do some things in his life that I wanted to be there for him, but he had to be there 250 percent for himself,” she shared. “And I didn’t want to take away from him being able to be there for himself. So I was like, ‘Listen, we can be friends.’”
She also added that she was the one to end things, but truly wants to stay friends.
“When I ended the relationship I was like, I don’t want to just say ‘let’s be friends’ and then let’s not. Like, let’s be friends and let’s make it normal,” JoJo said. “He deserves nothing but greatness.”

Stephen Amell is opening up about his recent bought with Coronavirus.
The Arrow actor, who will now star in the new Starz series Heels, spoke out publicly for the first time about testing positive earlier this month.
“I tested positive for COVID-19, geez, 15 days ago. Two weeks ago, Monday. Today being Tuesday, October 20th,” he said on the Inside of You w/Michael Rosenbaum podcast. “The thing is that, I um, I had already been isolated from work because there was a positive test on the show, and I repeatedly tested negative through the week, but ultimately, for whatever reason came down with symptoms the following Monday, got tested on the Tuesday.”
“I’ve actually been cleared to go back to work since Friday, this past Friday, but they didn’t know if I would be cleared for sure until basically this Wednesday, so they have been building other stuff into the schedule,” Stephen added.
“I woke up and it was the strangest thing. My f–kin’ right ear was plugged, and I was hot and cold. I never ran a fever,” he shared about his symptoms and how he knew something was up. “I’d say that I’ve started to notice something on Monday, but didn’t have a test result… Those first couple of days, they just really sucked.”
Stephen said he had the sweats, dizziness and loss of appetite. He also added that his show only shut down production for one day.
“When I got the positive test, for me it became holy f–k. I just destroyed this show because I’m number one on on the call sheet and I work every day more or less… I’m in my head going, ‘S–t, they’re going to have to shut down the production. We’re not yet done with the first block of two episodes. Did I just ruin this?’” he said.
“I’m incredibly fortunate that if I have to go into isolation, I have a job waiting for me on the other side,” he continued. “Again, thank you very much to Starz for being so supportive and what they did over the past three weeks, the show shut down for one day. What they were able to do is mind boggling, quite frankly. It just goes to show that they were prepared for it, but not everyone has the luxury of taking two weeks off. In fact, most people don’t. We are in the midst of a global pandemic and times are tough for a lot of people.”
“There were some delays in test results, so out of caution we shut down yesterday and today. We expect to resume production either tomorrow or Friday,” Big Sky‘s executive producer David E. Kelley said during a press conference for the Television Critics Association.
Variety says that according to a source, “there is a single lab company approved to oversee coronavirus testing, and the company is prioritizing schools, which have reopened in the province, and local businesses.”
This shut down is only temporary, and filming is expected to resume by the end of the week.
The stars of Supernatural are opening up about the safety measures that were taken while filming the final episodes of the series.
Jensen Ackles dished that going to the set was safer than going home!
“Everybody was taking it very seriously,” he told Variety.
“I would say being on set was safer [than] going home to my apartment, because everybody’s getting tested, everybody was healthy and was checked on such a frequent basis you knew that there was nobody carrying the disease,” Jensen added. “I’m being very cautious, and I would have felt comfortable hugging the crew members, just because I know that everybody was so diligently safe.”
Jared Padelecki dished that everyone was taking it very seriously, otherwise, “It would have been shutting down production and putting people out of work again, so everybody was more careful than they were required.”
“We all felt the importance. We weren’t going out on weekends,” he said.
