Actor Justin Long and his brother, Christian, believe they have come down with coronavirus but are unable to get tested.
The siblings opened up about their symptoms on the actor’s podcast, “Life Is Short With Justin Long,” on Tuesday, detailing they both started to feel sick after Christian’s girlfriend returned from a work trip feeling ill.
“We should tell everyone that you actually have corona. You think you do. I might have it as well,” Justin, 41, said.
“I do have it,” Christian, 38, replied. “We’re not just being paranoid.”
Justin gave context for their concerns, explaining, “Sadly, Christian’s girlfriend Maggie came back from her work trip and a couple of days later she was very ill. She had classic corona symptoms. She had a fever, dry cough, all the things that they’re saying people have with COVID.”
Christian, who also works in the film industry, said Maggie was on day 12 of the novel coronavirus and feeling “a lot better.”
Christian added, “The weird thing is, the day after she came down with symptoms, a couple of weeks ago, Justin and I came down with very mild versions of the exact same symptoms.”
Justin suspected he might have contracted COVID-19 after feeling “achiness, some nausea, headaches and then the tightness in the chests.” He noted that Maggie and Christian lost their senses of taste and smell, but said it didn’t happen to him.
Neither Justin nor Christian could obtain a test because they weren’t considered “a high enough risk.” Given their symptoms, they said they were quarantined out of concern for others, including their elderly parents.
