Los Angeles: Popular talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, who has contracted Covid, says she is feeling really good but has excruciating back pain.
The 62-year-old has shared an update about her health in a video posted on Twitter.
“Hi everybody, just saying thank you to all the well wishes out there. I appreciate it very much. I am feeling 100 per cent. I feel really good,” she said in the video.
“One thing they don’t tell you is you get, somehow, excruciating back pain. I didn’t know that was a symptom. Who knew? How come? Back pain. Bad,” she added.
She had revealed that she had “tested positive for Covid-19” last week.
