When the DOOL alum was in the hospital for injuries sustained after a fall from a horse, she asked for a COVID test. Evans explained to Soap Opera Digest that she had a fever and she rarely gets them. In fact, her temperature is always on the low side.

However, the infectious disease team didn’t want to give her a test because she wasn’t exhibiting symptoms. This when Evans told them that all the other tests they were doing cost thousands of dollars and to please just give her the $150 coronavirus test.

The Days of Our Lives actress explained that doctors wouldn’t even enter this ward. They would stay outside.

But that wasn’t the worst of it.
