on Wednesday, revealing that she received her positive test on Monday after first experiencing symptoms last Thursday.
“It really all started with a runny nose about a week ago, and that was four days after I spent a week in Seattle covering the initial outbreak of the virus in the U.S.,” Hartung told . “So last Wednesday, it was just a runny nose. I honestly thought it was allergies. I didn’t think it was anything more than that.”

Hartung said that she initially thought her symptoms were “nothing,” because she wasn’t experiencing “the symptoms that were being so closely associated with coronavirus.”
