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 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.

HER KIDS LOOK JUST LIKE HER

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.
