MILAN — Canadian singer Bryan Adams said on Thursday he had tested positive for COVID-19 after flying into Italy and was going to hospital.

“Here I am, just arrived in Milano and I’ve tested positive for the second time in a month for COVID. So it’s off to hospital for me,” he said in a post on Instagram, showing a photo of himself wearing a mask, sat behind a table.

“Thanks for all your support,” he said.
