One of the first cases of the novel coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, has just been reported within the music industry as producer Andrew Watt reveals he tested positive for it.

Andrew Watt, who has worked with superstar rappers like , , Juice WRLD, , A wit da Hoodie, and more, told the world of his diagnosis earlier today, sharing just how dangerous the virus truly is.

“12 days ago, early morning of March 6, I started feeling like I was hit by a bus. I couldn’t move out of my bed for days and started to run a fever,” said Watt on Instagram. “I was seen by a doctor at my house who told me I am positive for the regular flu and there’s no way I could have Covid-19 as I haven’t left the country and all I do is go to the studio and go straight home.”

After he developed a dry cough, Watt rushed to the emergency room where he begged for a coronavirus test. He was refused because of federal regulations, but upon seeing his private doctor, he tested positive for COVID-19.

“Currently…My fevers have gotten much much better and I have begun to have somewhat of an appetite again but it is very hard for me to breathe as a result of this pneumonia. I am 29 years old. I am a healthy young man and I am going to get through it no matter what. I am going to make a full recovery.”

He goes on to note that this illness should be taken seriously, echoing the government’s statements that this is not a joke. “Social distancing is to protect someone’s mom and dad, someone’s grandmother,” he said. “It’s not about you. It’s about everyone together fighting this as a team.”

Stay safe out there, and get well soon, Andrew!
