Actor Daniel Dae Kim Recovered from Coronavirus

     Daniel Dae Kim announced he’s “virus free,” 10 days after publicly revealing he tested positive for COVID-19. The 51-year-old Lost alum explained Sunday he “had a bit of a setback” after his last health update.

“This disease is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced and this past week was no exception. So, the day after my last video, my course of treatment ended,” the actor revealed on social media. “I was feeling healthier, as I mentioned, and I thought it would be good to just let my immune system take charge the rest of the way. But, maybe I was a bit too confident. A day after, I started to feel sluggish, tired. I was still congested and weirdly I lost my sense of smell, which led to a loss of sense of taste.”

   Last week, Kim shared that he was taking hydroxychloroquine (an antimalarial drug), Tamiflu, azithromycin (commonly known as a Z-pack) and a glycopyrrolate inhaler. At the time, he said he said he felt “practically back to normal.”

     “The good news is I never had a fever again, the bad news is I still didn’t feel right,” he admitted. “Since then, my doctor told me that these symptoms are commonly associated with what’s called post-viral inflammation and it’s part of our body’s natural recovery process. For me, this lasted on and off for a couple of days, but I’m told in people it can last up to a few weeks.”

The New Amsterdam star declared he’s “now considered virus free.
