        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Kathy Griffin</strong> was hospitalized in an isolation ward room with “unbearably painful” symptoms that she said could have been related to the novel coronavirus.</p><p>In two photos Griffin <a href="https://twitter.com/kathygriffin/status/1242894756415332352" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">posted to Twitter</a> Wednesday, she showed the room where she is staying — one with her nose and mouth covered by a mask.</p><p>“I was sent to the #COVID19 isolation ward room in a major hospital ER from a separate urgent care facility after showing UNBEARABLY PAINFUL symptoms,” the actress and comedian wrote.</p><p>In the tweet, the former “My Life on the D-List” star said the hospital “couldn’t test me for #coronavirus because of CDC (Pence task force) restrictions.”</p><p>Griffin, who recently traveled to Mexico with husband Randy Bick, first started experiencing symptoms over the weekend, which went away and then came back, Bick <strong>told the Los Angeles Times</strong>.</p><p>“Two days later, she woke up very early in the morning and had incredibly intense pain, vomiting, diarrhea, every 20 minutes,” he said. “Just really sick.”</p><p>The newlyweds — who just <strong>tied the knot on New Year’s Day</strong> — made their way to a local urgent care Tuesday and then were moved to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.</p><p>There, Griffin got a chest X-ray that showed clear lungs and a CT scan that revealed she had an abdominal infection. She said the emergency department doctor seemed to want to test both her and Bick.</p><p>“The doctor was going through the boxes and going through the boxes [on a form] and she kept saying, like, ‘Ugh, because of the lungs, the fever and the kind of cough … you don’t meet the CDC requirements,’” Griffin told the outlet.</p><p>She was given the option to be admitted to the hospital — where testing might be more likely — but after discussing the situation with a few health care staffers, she decided it would be better to self-isolate at home.</p>]]></content:encoded>
