Coronavirus

Tuscaloosa residents visiting loved ones in local hospitals this holiday season will be required to wear a facemask as COVID-19 cases in the area climb again.

DO YOU WANT TO LIVE. I will never forget that Tuscaloosa, Alabama doctor's words as she physically pulled me down the hospital hallway. I had just been told that I was positive for Covid 19, the Omicron Variant.

So far, the singer says, his wife Lauren and their baby boy haven't gotten sick.

I’m not sure where I was exposed to Covid, but that didn’t matter. I was getting worse every hour of every day. It’s at that point that you begin to get pretty frightened.

"The bottom line is that I want to take every precaution to put the health and safety of our fans and crew first," Brown writes.

"Please keep David Lee in your thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery," his team shares.

His wife Tracie also tested positive.

The news comes amid a surge of cases due to the Delta variant.

"It’s not fun. You don’t feel good," the singer admits.
