Madonna says she's had COVID-19

 Madonna said Thursday she has had the coronavirus and that it had been why she had to cancel a concert in Paris in February, though she actually is not currently sick. The "Queen of Pop" said she had tested positive for an antibody which might mean she had has COVID-19."I am not currently sick," she informed her 15 million followers on Instagram.

"When you test positive for anti-bodies this means you'd the virus, which I obviously did as I was sick towards the end of my tour in Paris over seven weeks hence along with many other artists in my show," she said.The 61-year-old star only played an individual night at the Grand Rex on February 22 before calling off the next show, citing "ongoing injuries".

She later called off two further Paris concerts - the last in her Madame X world tour - after French authorities banned large gatherings in a bid to stem the spread of the virus in early March.

"At the time we all thought we'd a bad flu," Madonna wrote in her post."Thank God we all have been healthy and well now," she added.Scientists are skeptical about the accuracy of many antibody tests which claim showing one has had virus.

Some warned that even those tests that meet up with the US government's informal standards may produce false positives. The singer revealed she had the virus after sharing an article about her donating $1.1 million (one million euros) towards research to discover a vaccine for the coronavirus.
