Salma Hayek reveals near-fatal COVID battle: ‘My doctor begged me to go to the hospital’
Fox News
The “Savages” actress opened up about her bout with the novel illness, revealing that she contracted COVID-19 early during the pandemic and spent seven weeks in isolation away from her family.
"My doctor begged me to go to the hospital because it was so bad," Hayek said during the virtual discussion. "I said, ‘No, thank you. I’d rather die at home.’" The Oscar-winner was on oxygen during a part of her near-fatal bout and said she still hasn’t regained all of her energy that was zapped away by the virus.More Related News
