Prayers Up: Comedian Rodney Perry Hospitalized After Testing Positive For COVID-19

Rodney Perry is now one of millions of people who have tested positive for COVID-19. The comedian revealed he had coronavirus on Instagram Live Sunday.

He is currently hospitalized in the Intensive Care Unit but seems to be in great spirits.

Rodney said it’s great news, but he humorously said he may not receive the same level of care.
