Rosie Perez is recounting her terrifying experience with COVID-19, revealing she contracted the
00:05
novel coronavirus last December.
00:09
In an interview with A Prox published Monday, the 56-year-old actress revealed that she
00:13
was diagnosed with COVID-19 in the middle of filming HBO Max's The Flight Attendant,
00:18
which subsequently had to shut down production due to her diagnosis.
00:21
She revealed she had contracted COVID when she flew to Bangkok for filming, explaining
00:25
that at the time, COVID-19 was an unknown virus, so it was being described as a new respiratory
00:31
tract infection.
00:32
She said at the time, no one knew what the virus was and the symptoms other than it attacks
00:36
the respiratory system first and then travels to other parts of your body.
00:40
And I was like, oh my God, it was terrifying.
00:43
She recalled pleading with her manager to not let her die in Bangkok and the doctor informing
00:47
both of them that they should be frightened over the virus.
00:50
The head of the ICU says, you should be scared, sir.
00:53
This is serious.
00:54
We're going to have to put her in a separate room.
00:56
She also reflected on how much of an ordeal it was to have production shut down.
01:00
We got shut down and it was tough because it was a good gig for a lot of hardworking
01:04
people.
01:05
Every single month, everyone was asking, are we going back?
01:07
Are we going back?
01:08
What's going to happen to the show?
01:10
When production for The Flight Attendant continued, the actress admitted she felt very nervous
01:14
to return to set.
01:15
However, she felt content after realizing everything was run so efficiently.
01:19
Standing in line for the COVID test, having hair and makeup with the goggles and the face
01:23
masks, and then the face shield and the blue emergency room gowns, they took every precaution
01:27
possible.
01:28
Adding, this looks like the movie Contagion.
01:30
It was bizarre.
