Shehady announced the diagnosis on his Facebook page on Thursday.

According to the Facebook post, Shehady was having severe respiratory symptoms on Friday. Due to being immuno-compromised, Shehady’s doctor sent him to the hospital for testing. Shehady said all other viral diseases were ruled out. He received a positive coronavirus diagnosis Thursday.

“The coughing, congestion and sniffles have lasted the longest but the worst and most noticeable is the loss of smell and taste,” Shehady wrote in his post.
