According to Evans’ publicist, the actress contracted the viral illness while recovering in the hospital following a horse-riding accident in May which resulted in several broken ribs, fractured leg injuries, two chipped vertebra and a broken collarbone.
“I spoke to Judi on Sunday and she is STILL in the hospital – 23 days now and counting,” wrote her publicist, Howie Simon, in aWhile at the hospital, the 55-year-old began experiencing “mild symptoms,” including fever, aches, a cough — but Simon also said she almost had both her legs amputated on two separate occasions due to “COVID blood clots.”
“On top of everything, when she went into surgery on one of her legs, they forgot to numb the leg and cut into her leg while she was fully conscious with no numbing of the area,” read Simon’s statement.“However speaking to her on Sunday, she was in good spirits and back to Judi “humor” despite all these spiraling turn of events,” wrote Simon.
Tom Hanks, his wife Rita Wilson, as well as Idris Elba, Daniel Dae Kim and NBA player Kevin Durant all previously tested positive for the virus, and have recovered.
