Singer and businesswoman Gloria Estefan said on Wednesday (Dec 2) that she spent much of November in isolation after testing positive for Covid-19, days after dining outdoors at a Miami-area restaurant.

Estefan, 63, says she was fortunate, enduring only "a little bit of a cough” and dehydration after losing her sense of smell and taste, and has tested negative twice since recovering.
