Gwyneth Paltrow "didn't feel the need to bring up" her COVID-19 diagnosis.

The Goop founder was struck down with the virus back in February 2020 but she didn't speak about it until much later because she felt there were "more important things going on".
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter magazine, she said: "I got it so early that there weren’t COVID tests available. We couldn’t even get tested for a long time, and by the time we were able to get antibody tests and all of that, there were much graver, more important things going on in the world. I didn’t really feel the need to bring it up, but it was interesting."
Meanwhile, Gwyneth previously opened up on the lingering symptoms she's still been experiencing after her battle with the coronavirus including "long-tail fatigue" and "brain fog".
She wrote: "I had COVID-19 early on, and it left me with some long-tail fatigue and brain fog ... In January, I had some tests done that showed really high levels of inflammation in my body. So I turned to one of the smartest experts I know in this space, the functional medicine practitioner Dr. Will Cole. After he saw all my labs, he explained that this was a case where the road to healing was going to be longer than usual. So I've been cooking a lot, and some of it is really delicious: I made scallops with crispy capers and sage the other day, asparagus with bacon vinaigrette, and some little artichokes with stuffed herbs and garlic."
