DJ Jazzy Jeff reveals pneumonia diagnosis, hints at coronavirus symptoms

“I’m recovering from pneumonia in both my lungs…I lost my sense of smell and taste which is a main sign of the virus,” Jeff wrote. “I would not be here if not for my guardian angel for a wife! 

In early March, Jeff mentioned he had an illness, tweeting, “I’ll be happy when I’m home and I can cough freely…LOL.” While he has yet to confirm his COVID-19 diagnosis, Jeff did urge his followers to take the virus seriously, saying they should continue to practice social distancing and stay indoors.

“Please take this serious…it does not care who you are..what you do or what your plans are. Stay Safe,” he wrote.
