(ForEveryMom) Just one month after announcing she’s pregnant with her second child, Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson took to Instagram this week revealing that she’s tested positive for COVID-19.
The 29-year-old wrote in her Instagram stories Sunday that she’s concerned about the diagnosis because she’s suffered from asthma her entire life. “So this scares me a little extra,“ she said.
In addition to her underlying condition, research has found that pregnancy can increase the risk of severe illness caused by the coronavirus.
