Donna Karan shares her experience with COVID-19: 'What I saw in these hospitals is unacceptable'

Donna Karan has opened up about her painful COVID-19 encounter.

The fashion designer, who contracted coronavirus recently was immediately taken to the hospital.

In a recent fundraiser hosted by model Christy Turlington and Tonya Lewis Lee called Women For Ray, Donna revealed the importance of healthcare.

"I was in the hospital the other day. I have COVID. I experienced it, and one of my biggest things has always been healthcare. Where is the care in health care? There is disease care… Who’s caring for the nurses? What I saw in these hospitals is unacceptable," Donna revealed.

Describing the awful spread of disease at the premise, Donna was utterly shocked at the will of the nurses that treated patients.

"I was taken care of absolutely amazingly. And I looked at these nurses and I asked, ‘Did you get the vaccine?’ And she said, ‘No.’ I said, ‘How could you be here?’ She said, ‘Because that’s what I do. I’m here to help,'” she recalled, “I’ve been speaking to all the nurses and what they’ve been doing over the past year is unbelievable and we must take care of the nurses.”
