Los Angeles: Actor Sharon Stone has shared that her sister Kelly has tested positive for COVID-19 and blamed all those not wearing masks for her infection.
The actor took to Instagram to post a photo of a solitary room with a large yellow tube being fed into it, surrounded by PPE-clad doctors, according to news reports.
Revealing Kelly was being treated in the room, Sharon captioned the image: "My sister Kelly, who already has lupus, now has COVID-19. This is her hospital room.
"One of you Non-Mask wearers did this. She does not have an immune system. The only place she went was the pharmacy. There is no testing in her county unless you are symptomatic, & then it's 5 day wait for results. Can YOU FACE THIS ROOM ALONE? Wear a mask! For yourself and others. Please."

It's believed Kelly is at a hospital in Miami, although she had been self-isolating in Montana with her husband.
Kelly took to Instagram herself to post a video from her hospital bed, lying in the dark, "begging" her followers "to know that this is real."

She got tearful and said: "I only have love. My heart is breaking for people who can't breathe!"
