"Pretty Little Liars" actress Tammin Sursok has revealed that her husband, Sean McEwen, is sick with coronavirus.
She made the announcement on Instagram on Wednesday alongside a photo of herself looking somewhat teary-eyed.
"My husband has Covid. And I’m scared," she wrote in the caption. "Today I’m not as scared as yesterday but yesterday I felt very out of control. It was rough and touch and go. All the hospitals are full and his fever of 103 wouldn’t break for days and it got to a very scary place."
The star said that she and her two daughters -- Phoenix, 6, and Lennon, 2 -- have tested negative for the virus and have displayed no symptoms. She added that they've been quarantining and following strict safety guidelines in Austin, Texas, including not seeing friends or eating out.

Sursok then pleaded with her fans, asking them to "please wear a mask for yourself for other people. This is not something you want to get. Thank you for being here. You light up my life. Always."
