The video of Alyssa Malino revealed that her hair is slowly falling, especially when she combs her hair. However, some users seemed to troll her in the comment section instead of showing their concern.
"It's hair extensions. That wasn't real hair I know because I have long natural hair. She was just brushing out the glue and part of a extension," replied one of the users, @Iona_barrett.
Another Twitter user said that it might not be COVID-19 since hair loss can be caused by stress and hormone changes. According to CBS News' latest report, Milano posted the video to tell people to wear their masks.
Although hair loss is not included in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) list of COVID-19 symptoms, the report stated that other infected people said they're experiencing hair loss. The Survivor Corps, a group that provides resources to coronavirus survivors, conducted the survey.
Other infected people experiencing hair loss
The recent survey found that around 26% of long-term coronavirus symptoms said they had experienced hair loss. Survivor Corps' study asked more than 1,500 patients about the symptoms they're experiencing.

The researchers of the study found out that people infected of the virus are showing more symptoms exceeding the listed ones on the CDC's website. It was revealed that 400 out of the 1,500 participants developed hair loss as a COVID-19 symptom.
The Survivors Corps Facebook group's members shared their battle against the viral diseases, and are currently asking for advice. The report also stated that Milano started developing coronavirus symptoms in Mar., based on her previous Instagram post.
"I had never been this kind of sick. Everything hurt. Loss of smell. It felt like an elephant was sitting on my chest," she captioned on her IG post.
