  • Madonna raised eyebrows last week when she, in an Instagram video, claimed that she had tested positive for coronavirus antibodies.

    "Took a test the other day, and I found out that I have the antibodies," the singer said in the clip.

    She added that she planned to "go for a long drive in the car... to breathe in the COVID-19 air".

  • Do you know?

    It's not clear if antibodies provide immunity from the virus

  • Antibodies are proteins produced by the immune system to help the body fight against foreign particles such as viruses. However, US' Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that if someone has the antibodies, it does not necessarily mean they are immune to infection.

  • Party

    While most guests joined the party via video conferencing, Madonna decided to appear in-person. Friendship goals?
