Amy Schumer has tested positive for COVID-19.

The comedian and actress, 40, shared her diagnosis in a video posted on Instagram over the weekend.

In the clip, Schumer is seen sitting in a bedroom as she shares she's "lonely" and jokes that COVID gave her an "incredible Elizabeth Holmes voice."

"This is what I sound like now that I have COVID," Schumer continues in reference to the Theranos founder who was convicted of criminal fraud. Schumer also shares in the clip that she's "bored" and "away from my family."

Schumer's bout with COVID comes after she shared that she hadn't yet tested positive for the illness while appearing on an episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers on Wednesday evening.

At the time, host Seth Meyers pointed out that Schumer was one of the "few people" he knew that hadn't been diagnosed with COVID.

As Schumer joked around that "God has a plan" and "He chooses the people He loves," the comedian teased: "I'm a little smug about it, I haven't had it yet."

She then doubled down on her theory that God is on her side, playfully exclaiming, "Hey, He's looking out," as she pointed upwards.
