A broader and more accessible diagnosis would help protect the community, emphasizes the artist.

American singer Alecia Beth Moore, known by her stage name Pink, announced Friday in an Instagram post that she was diagnosed with the new coronavirus two weeks ago.
“My 3-year-old son and I had symptoms of covid-19. Fortunately, our GP had access to the tests and I tested positive,” Pink wrote.
After days of isolation, a new test came back negative, and now the artist insists that more efforts by the government and the public are needed to deal with the outbreak.
“It is absurd and an absolute failure of our government not to make the tests widely more accessible,” wrote the singer. “We have to do free and more accessible tests to protect our children, our families, our friends and our communities,” he said.
The artist stressed that the virus affects “young and old, healthy and sick, rich and poor” and the public must be aware of the risk. He called everyone to stay home and announced donations to a hospital and the Los Angeles emergency fund to combat the pandemic.
