Alyssa Milano has revealed her hair is falling out as a result of Covid-19.
Taking to Instagram, the Charmed actress shared a video of her brushing her hair, to show how much of her hair is falling out.
At the start of the video, she said: “I just wanted to show you the amount of hair that is coming out of my head as a result of Covid.”
Alyssa captioned the post: “Thought I’d show you what #Covid19 does to your hair. Please take this seriously. #WearADamnMask #LongHauler.”

Last week, Alyssa told fans she had contracted the virus back in March, but she initially tested negative for Covid-19.
Sharing a photo of her using breathing equipment, Alyssa wrote on Instagram: “This was me on April 2nd after being sick for 2 weeks. I had never been this kind of sick.”
“Everything hurt. Loss of smell. It felt like an elephant was sitting on my chest. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t keep food in me. I lost 9 pounds in 2 weeks. I was confused. Low grade fever. And the headaches were horrible. I basically had every Covid symptom.”
“At the very end of march I took two covid19 tests and both were negative. I also took a covid antibody test (the finger prick test) after I was feeling a bit better. NEGATIVE,” she continued.

“After living the last 4 months with lingering symptoms like, vertigo, stomach abnormalities, irregular periods, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, zero short term memory, and general malaise, I went and got an antibody test from a blood draw (not the finger prick) from a lab. I am POSITIVE for covid antibodies. I had Covid19.”
“I just want you to be aware that our testing system is flawed and we don’t know the real numbers. I also want you to know, this illness is not a hoax. I thought I was dying. It felt like I was dying.”
“I will be donating my plasma with hopes that I might save a life. Please take care of yourselves. Please wash your hands and wear a mask and social distance.
She added: “I don’t want anyone to feel the way I felt. Be well. I love you all (well, maybe not the trolls. Just the kind people.)❤️”
