Madonna has revealed that she already has coronavirus antibodies after getting herself tested for the virus.
The 61-year-old pop legend made the revelation in an Instagram video on Thursday, which is part of a series she's dubbed her "Quarantine Diaries."
"I took a test the other day. I found out that I have the antibodies," she began. "So tomorrow, I’m just going to go for a long drive in a car and I'm going to roll down the window, and I’m going to breathe in the COVID-19 air."

Bizarre: Madonna, 61, told fans Thursday she was going for a drive to 'breathe in the COVID-19 air' after finding out she has the antibodies of the deadly virus
The singer appears to be claiming that following a test, it has proven that her immune system has already seen the coronavirus, though it is unclear if she had suffered any symptoms.
However, it is still unclear whether those antibodies can provide protection (immunity) against getting infected again.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) currently stat that if you have the antibodies, it doesn't not necessarily make you immune to the virus.

Antibodies are proteins that help fight off infections, and the CDC advises that tests should not be used as the only way to diagnose someone as being currently sick with COVID-19.
Madonna has recently caused controversy over her comments about the deadly virus, when she called it "the great equalizer" while being filmed in a marble bath tub surrounded by rose petals.
Speaking pensively about the ongoing pandemic while instrumental music played in the background, Madonna said: 'That's the thing about COVID-19. It doesn't care about how rich you are, how famous you are, how funny you are.

'How smart you are, where you live, how old you are, what amazing stories you can tell. It's the great equaliser and what's terrible about is it what's great about it.
'What's terrible about it is that it's made us all equal in many ways and what's wonderful about is, is that it's made us all equal in many ways.
'Like I used to say at the end of human nature every night, if the ship goes down, we're all going down together.'
The Material Girl singer later deleted the video, after receiving a huge backlash online.
