Reba McEntire thought she had COVID-19 because she had all the symptoms, but then was told she did not.
The 66-year-old country music star and her partner, Rex Linn, both tested positive for the virus recently despite being fully vaccinated.
But when she was tested for antibodies a nurse suggested it was more likely to be the RSV virus (Respiratory syncytial virus).

Appearing on Talk Shop Live with Nancy O'Dell, Reba said: 'I did say that I had COVID but when I got tested my antibodies — it came up that I had not had COVID.
'I had my antibodies from my vaccine. So I had all the symptoms, so I was kinda probably — I did get tested, you know the test that I had and it said that I had it but then the nurse that came and tested me for my antibodies said that I probably had the RSV virus.'
Earlier this year she shared on TikTok that she thought she had COVID.
'I just want to say one thing: this has been a hard year and it's getting rougher again. You guys, please stay safe. Wear your mask. Do what you have to do. Stay home,' she said.
