From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Sharon Osbourne has revealed that she was briefly hospitalised after testing positive for Covid-19.

The former music manager and star of The Talk tweeted that she was recuperating in a location away from her husband, Ozzy Osbourne.

In the post on Monday evening (14 December), she wrote: “I wanted to share I’ve tested positive for Covid 19.”

“After a brief hospitalisation, I’m now recuperating at a location away from Ozzy (who has tested negative) while The Talk is on scheduled hiatus. Everyone please stay safe and healthy.”

Ozzy Osbourne noted in an interview with GQ in November that he was particularly vulnerable to coronavirus due to his respiratory problems.

“I’ve got emphysema, so if I get this virus, I’m f***ed,” he said.

The heavy metal star – who released his latest album, Ordinary Man, in February this year – has suffered a number of health issues lately.

His and Sharon’s granddaughter Minnie, the three-year-old daughter of Jack Osbourne, had previously tested positive for Covid-19 in September.

Jack Osbourne described her symptoms as “a little bit of a runny nose and a fever”.
