“Well I spent earlier part of the week in NYC, when I got to Atlanta I wasn’t feeling well, I talked to a couple of doctors and they told me to self-quarantine for the next 48 hours. I started yesterday and today was my second day. I haven’t been feeling great and they didn’t want to take any chances so they told me to self quarantine for 48 hours. I’ve taken the coronavirus test late this afternoon and I have not gotten the results back.”
