Days Of Our Lives Spoilers – The Fight To Get Tested For Coronavirus

When the DOOL alum was in the hospital for injuries sustained after a fall from a horse, she asked for a COVID test. Evans explained to Soap Opera Digest that she had a fever and she rarely gets them. In fact, her temperature is always on the low side.

However, the infectious disease team didn’t want to give her a test because she wasn’t exhibiting symptoms. This when Evans told them that all the other tests they were doing cost thousands of dollars and to please just give her the $150 coronavirus test.

The Days of Our Lives actress explained that doctors wouldn’t even enter this ward. They would stay outside. If patients needed something, then the nurses risked exposing themselves to get the message to the doctor. Then, the doctor would write the order or explain why it was a no. But that wasn’t the worst of it.

Evans says that all day and all night there were patients with COVID-19 who were screaming and crying. She recalls,

“They put me in a COVID ward, which was so horrible. I felt so bad for the other patients because I could hear them screaming night and day and crying. It’s like a little prison.
