[Asia Economy Reporter Cho Hyun-ui] Hollywood actress Salma Hayek revealed that she self-quarantined for seven weeks after contracting COVID-19.

According to CNN on the 20th (local time), Hayek recently said in an interview with the U.S. entertainment media Variety, "I was infected during the early spread of COVID-19 last year."

She said, "At the time, my doctor urged me to go to the hospital because the situation was serious, but I refused (hospitalization), saying 'I'd rather die at home.'"

Instead of being hospitalized, Hayek isolated alone at home for seven weeks. She said, "My condition was so severe that I even used an oxygen respirator at home," and added, "I returned to work after full recovery, but my stamina is not what it used to be."

CNN explained, "Hayek is one of the celebrities who publicly disclosed their experience of contracting COVID-19 last year."
