Alyssa Milano, 47, was allegedly sick with COVID-19 for at least two weeks. In a post shared on Wednesday, the "Charmed" star explained what happened to her and why she believes testing is flawed.

MILANO LISTS SYMPTOMS AMID NEGATIVE COVID RESULTS

The actress lost nine pounds over two weeks. Yet two tests in March both showed negative results for the novel coronavirus. When Milano started to feel better, she took an antibody test.

According to People, positive antibody test results indicated that a person was exposed to COVID-19. However, Milano's result was negative. She continued to endure the symptoms on a less intense level.

After four months, Milano underwent a blood-drawn antibody test. This time, it showed she was positive for COVID antibodies. The actress alleged: "I just want you to be aware that our testing system is flawed."

SHE IMPLORES FOLLOWERS TO TAKE PRECAUTIONS

She claimed that the real number of cases for COVID-19 is unknown. She added: "I also want you to know, this illness is not a hoax. I thought I was dying. It felt like I was dying."

Milano noted that she would donate her plasma towards research for finding a COVID-19 treatment or cure. She ended by imploring her fans to take care of themselves, wear masks, wash their hands, and social distance.

DANCING ON TIK TOK IN MID-MARCH

Milano appeared to be feeling fine in mid-March, around the time she would have just gotten sick. She took to Tik Tok and posted a video of herself dancing to the popular song, "Bored in the House."

At the time, the actress seemed happy as she danced away on the popular app while voicing the words to the catchy tune. She was in quarantine with kids Milo, eight, and Elizabella, five.

While Milano began her acting career very young, her kids do not seem to have picked up the bug yet. Milan shares both children with her husband, Dave Bugliari.

Most think that the tots look like their mom, but Milano explained that their personality includes aspects from both parents. Milano also does her best to raise her kids with a sense of awareness and values.
