Country-rock singer Sturgill Simpson posted a long note to Instagram telling the story of his coronavirus diagnosis.
. The caption accompanied a photo of Simpson wearing a mask in his local hospital emergency room, where he went with his wife on March 13 after experiencing "chest pains, fever, and pre-stroke blood pressure levels."
"I spent an hour listening to a doctor refuse to test me because I 'did not fit testing criteria' and tell me why it was impossible that I had contracted the virus due to its extreme rarity and that it was not in western Europe yet during that same period even though I was told by two nurses that I was the first person their hospital had walk in requesting to be tested," Simpson wrote.
Simpson added that he finally did get a test on April 6 at a free drive-through facility near a National Guard depot, and officially received positive results on April 10 . He's now under self-quarantine until April 19.For the latest information on coronavirus , including how to protect yourself and what to do if you think you are sick, please visit
