Drake revealed he was recently in the hospital, though not for coronavirus-related reasons.

During the Stronger Together broadcast special over the weekend, Drake shared a special message to frontline healthcare workers who are braving the pandemic to ensure the safety of others. He also revealed his recent foot injury.

Drake added that this resilience is "the glue holding us all together."

"Keep your mind stimulated, get better at that thing that you're passion about, better yourself mentally and physically. If you can stay active, if you can make a change that you've always wanted to make in your life, right now is the time."
