Latin star Prince Royce has disclosed that he has COVID-19 and has asked others to be aware of the very real dangers of contracting the disease.
“It is very frustrating for me to see people in supermarkets without a mask. It is very frustrating for me to see that people are irresponsible and do not protect others, “Royce said in an interview with the Associated Press.
That false sense of security, he said, is what prompted him to speak.
“Just because you’re young doesn’t mean you’re not going to make it,” said Royce, 31. “I hope my story can educate the young people, the people who are trying to go out this weekend because of the holidays.”
At AP In the article, Royce says he doesn’t know how or when he became infected, but he believes it happened while dining after restaurants and bars reopened in Miami, where he lives. He had a Covid test because he had a persistent headache, but the diagnosis took him by surprise.
“I thought I was washing my hands, I thought I was wearing a mask, you know. And I think it was just a wake up call for me, “he says.
Royce says he is recovering and that his wife, Emeraude Toubia, is not ill.
