Sara Bareilles says shes on the mend after being diagnosed with COVID-19.
The singer-songwriter made the announcement Thursday in a series of short videos posted to her Instagram stories from what appeared to be New Yorks Central Park.
I had it, just so you know, Bareilles said. Im fully recovered, just so you know.
Im just thinking about all the people who are walking through this really tricky time and sending a lot of love, she continued, and just being really grateful for every easy breath and every day that I get to be walking around.
Until last month, the Grammy winner had been starring in the London production of her hit musical Waitress , which closed March 14 amid coronavirus concerns. She and co-star Gavin Creel had been scheduled to remain in the show through March 21.
On March 23, Creel appeared on the one-night-only reboot of The Rosie ODonnell Show , and said he believed he had COVID-19, though he hadnt been tested.

A bunch of our cast mates have fallen sick from it, Creel said . Its like a cruddy flu for me. Ive been lucky to not have any breathing difficulties or respiratory issues, but I have the fever, the headaches. I lost my sense of smell and taste havent gotten those back.
