While Kathy Griffin was scared of contracting coronavirus initially, she was instead diagnosed with an abdominal infection.

The actress and comedian also shared the sensational news about how the healthcare workers did not have the required personal protective equipment at the hospital where she was admitted, Mail Online reports. The 59-year-old celebrity seems to be recuperating steadily at her home though she might not be feeling good emotionally.
