P!nk, who also shares a daughter, Willow, with husband Carey Hart, wrote in a message on Twitter: "Two weeks ago my three-year old son, Jameson and I were showing symptoms of COVID-19. Fortunately, our primary care physician had access to tests and I tested positive."

"It is an absolute travesty and failure of our government to not make testing more widely accessible," she shared.
She announced that in order to support "health care professionals who are battling on the frontlines every day" she would be donating $500,000, around £407,497, to Temple University Emergency Fund in Philadelphia, as well as the same amount to the City of Los Angele's Mayor's Emergency COVID-19 Crisis Fund.
P!nk revealed the money for the hospital fund was being donated in honour of her mother, Judy Moore, who worked there for 18 years.
Other celebrities who have tested positive for the coronavirus and have since recovered include Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson, as well as Idris Elba.
