[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Min Jun-young] Hollywood actress Sharon Stone shared the news that her younger sister tested positive for the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).


On the 16th (local time), Sharon Stone posted on her Instagram, "My sister, who already suffers from lupus (an autoimmune disease), contracted COVID-19 yesterday. It was because of one of the people not wearing a mask."


She said, "My sister Kelly has no immunity to COVID-19, and the only place she visited was the pharmacy," adding, "In her neighborhood, you cannot get tested for COVID-19 unless you have symptoms, and you have to wait five days for the results. Could you face this room alone by yourself? Please wear a mask for your own sake and for others."


On the 17th, Sharon Stone also posted on her Instagram, "My sister's husband is hospitalized in the COVID-19 isolation ward, fighting," and "Their mother, who had two heart attacks and has had a pacemaker for the past five months, has no COVID-19 symptoms and therefore could not get tested," she reported.


She continued, "This is the country you live in. This is a country where you could die from COVID-19."



Meanwhile, Johns Hopkins University in the United States reported on the 17th that the number of COVID-19 cases in the U.S. reached 5,421,806, with 170,277 deaths.
