Runaway June Singer Jennifer Wayne Diagnosed With Coronavirus

Runaway June singer, Jennifer Wayne, has revealed her coronavirus (COVID-19) diagnosis and opened up about how the deadly virus has affected her.

On Wednesday (April 15) Wayne turned to social media to share the news of her illness with fans admitting that at first she wasn't sure if she wanted the public to know. "I’ve been struggling with whether or not to share," she explains, adding, "because to be honest it’s kind of rocked me and I wasn’t sure that putting it on a public platform was right for me."

The country singer continued on to say she ultimately decided to go public after being asked by so many people how she battled through the illness. Wayne says she believes she contracted COVID-19 from the grocery store because it's the only place she's been outside of her home. When she was diagnosed she received "some great advice from doctors and friends and family (@travelingwithfinn !) that she credits for helping her overcome the virus.

"Everyone is different, and each body’s immune system fights it off in a different way, so I am definitely not saying I have any answers... just wanted to share what I did in case it helps," she says before explaining what helped her personally. "I loaded up on Vitamin C, Vitamin D3, B complex; chaga mushrooms and ZINC! Lots of Zinc. I also drank more water and Gatorade then I ever have in my life. I wanted to flush that thing out of my system. Those vitamins and staying hydrated and rest were a lifesaver for me."

Wayne shared the news and her advice alongside a photo of herself holding a sign that lists three things she is grateful for. The first reads, "My parents did NOT get the virus," the second, "My body which I have so harshly judged in the past, fought it off and kept me healthy, and the third, "I have had incredible family and friend support. I'm a lucky girl."
